Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 2.69%, 11.42% and 9.89% respectively, and the fund is tagged High Risk. Our view is that it fits investors who can live with sharp swings and still want a diversified equity fund of funds that has delivered better medium- and long-term compounding than its benchmark, though the recent 1-year outcome has been more restrained.<\/p>\n<p>The portfolio is built around a small set of underlying active equity funds, so the return profile can move differently from a plain index-style equity allocation. That makes it more suitable for a patient, long-horizon investor than for someone looking for steady near-term consistency.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy

term, the fund has been steadier than the benchmark in the most recent month and quarter, and it also held up better over one year. That matters because the benchmark\u2019s 1-year return is negative, while the fund still stayed positive. The short-term picture therefore looks more resilient than the index, even if the 1-year gain is modest in absolute terms.<\/p>\n<p>The longer view is more encouraging. Over 3 years and 5 years, the fund has remained ahead of the benchmark by a clear margin, which points to stronger compounding across a full market cycle. The 5-year return of 9.89% also shows that the strategy has not relied on one brief phase of outperformance alone.<\/p>\n<p>We also read the recent movement as less smooth than the longer-term figures suggest. The path over the past year and quarter has had visible ups and downs, so the fund does not behave like a low-volatility equity product. Still, the trend is not one of persistent weakness; rather, it looks like a strategy that can recover after soft patches and then rebuild returns over time.<\/p>\n<p>For investors, the key comparison is that the fund has generally done better than the benchmark across the periods shown, but the edge is most meaningful over 3 years and 5 years. The recent numbers are helpful, yet they do not fully define the strategy\u2019s longer record.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 07 Sep 2026<\/small><\/p>\n<section class=\"univest-mf-premium-cta\" style=\"margin:28px 0;padding:24px;border-radius:10px;border:1px solid #d8e3f0;background:#f7faff\">\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_you_BUY_or_HOLD_Quantum_Diversified_Equity_All_Cap_Active_FOF\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD Quantum Diversified Equity All Cap Active FOF?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A fund&#8217;s past returns alone don&#8217;t tell you whether you should buy it today or continue holding it.<\/p>\n<p>The right decision depends on factors such as your current allocation, purchase price, risk profile, investment horizon and the role this fund plays in your overall portfolio.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Already holding Quantum Diversified Equity All Cap Active FOF?

The current fund\u2019s 1-year return is far below the silver-linked peer set shown here, but that comparison is not apples to apples because the products follow very different underlying exposures. The more useful takeaway is that, among the peers with 3-year numbers available, this fund\u2019s 11.42% is lower than those silver FOF figures, yet its own 3-year and 5-year history still points to a steadier equity-linked compounding pattern rather than a commodity-led surge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 07 Sep 2026<\/small><\/p>\n<div class=\"univest-peer-login-cta\" style=\"margin:20px 0;padding:16px 18px;border:1px solid #d8e3f0;border-radius:8px;background:#f7faff\">\n<p style=\"margin:0\"><strong>Want to know more?<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/user\/log-in\" style=\"font-weight:700;text-decoration:none\">Log in to Univest<\/a> for more mutual fund insights.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Portfolio_where_your_money_goes\"><\/span>Portfolio: where your money goes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Holding<\/th>\n<th>Sector<\/th>\n<th>Weight<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Aditya Birla Sun Life Focused Fund &#8211; Direct Plan &#8211; Growth Option*<\/td>\n<td>Domestic Mutual Funds Units<\/td>\n<td>16.41%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Invesco India Midcap Fund &#8211; Direct Plan &#8211; Growth Option*<\/td>\n<td>Domestic Mutual Funds Units<\/td>\n<td>14.88%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>ICICI Prudential Focused Equity Fund &#8211; Direct Plan &#8211; Growth Option*<\/td>\n<td>Domestic Mutual Funds Units<\/td>\n<td>13.91%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>HDFC Focused Fund &#8211; Direct Plan &#8211; Growth Option*<\/td>\n<td>Domestic Mutual Funds Units<\/td>\n<td>13.61%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Kotak Focused Fund -Direct Plan- Growth Option*<\/td>\n<td>Domestic Mutual Funds Units<\/td>\n<td>11.64%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>HSBC Large &amp; Mid Cap Fund &#8211; Direct Plan &#8211; Growth Option*<\/td>\n<td>Domestic Mutual Funds Units<\/td>\n<td>7.98%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Union Small Cap Fund &#8211; Direct Plan &#8211; Growth Option*<\/td>\n<td>Domestic Mutual Funds Units<\/td>\n<td>6.98%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bank of India Small Cap Fund &#8211; Direct Plan &#8211; Growth Option*<\/td>\n<td>Domestic Mutual Funds Units<\/td>\n<td>6.07%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Franklin India Flexi Cap Fund &#8211; Direct Plan- Growth Option*<\/td>\n<td>Domestic Mutual Funds Units<\/td>\n<td>3.4%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Abakkus Flexi Cap Fund -Direct Plan- Growth Option*<\/td>\n<td>Domestic Mutual Funds Units<\/td>\n<td>2%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The largest holding is Aditya Birla Sun Life Focused Fund &#8211; Direct Plan &#8211; Growth Option* at 16.41%, which is large enough to matter meaningfully to the portfolio\u2019s day-to-day behaviour. The drop from the largest holding to the tenth holding is steep, falling to 2%, so the listed sleeve is clearly tilted toward a handful of bigger positions rather than being evenly spread.<\/p>\n<p>The top 10 holdings account for approximately 96.88% of the portfolio, which suggests a highly concentrated disclosed book even though the strategy itself is a fund of funds. That concentration may make the portfolio more sensitive to the performance of the largest underlying funds, especially the focused and mid-cap names near the top.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the 12 disclosed holdings show that the manager has not relied on a single underlying scheme. The construction may help diversify equity style exposure across focused, mid-cap, large-and-mid-cap, small-cap and flexi-cap sleeves, but the weight pattern means a few positions are likely to have greater influence than the rest.<\/p>\n<p>To see all holdings, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/mutual-funds\/quantum-diversified-equity-all-cap-active-fof-g-direct-plan\">Quantum Diversified Equity All Cap Active FOF Direct Growth Plan<\/a> page<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 07 Sep 2026<\/small><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_should_invest\"><\/span>Who should invest<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This fund suits investors with a high tolerance for equity volatility and a long investment horizon, because the return pattern has been uneven in the short run even though the 3-year and 5-year outcomes are stronger.

The portfolio\u2019s concentrated set of underlying funds means the strategy may reward patience, but it can also move sharply when those underlying sleeves are out of step with the market.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tax_and_exit_load\"><\/span>Tax and exit load<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Holding period<\/th>\n<th>Tax rate<\/th>\n<th>Description<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Units held less than 1 year<\/td>\n<td>20%<\/td>\n<td>Short-term capital gains tax<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Units held more than 1 year<\/td>\n<td>12.5%<\/td>\n<td>Long-term capital gains tax<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Exit load<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nil upto 10% of Units and 1% For remaining Units on or before 365D.
