Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 8.6%, 14.34% and 18.56%, and the fund sits in the High Risk category. Our view is that it has rewarded longer holding periods better than shorter ones, but the recent run has been softer, so it fits investors who can stay patient through uneven stretches.<\/p>\n<p>The fund\u2019s portfolio is tilted toward a small set of large positions, which can add return potential but also keeps outcome swings meaningful. Against the Nifty 50 benchmark, its longer-term numbers remain clearly stronger, though the latest periods show more pressure than the 3-year and 5-year records suggest.<\/p>\n<div

recent picture is mixed, but not weak relative to the benchmark. Over 1 month and 3 months, the fund stayed negative, yet it still held up better than the Nifty 50, which also declined more sharply in both windows. That tells us the recent period has been difficult for risk assets in general, while the fund has remained relatively resilient.<\/p>\n<p>The 1-year figure is much more constructive. The fund finished comfortably positive while the benchmark was negative, which shows a clear separation in medium-term outcomes. That is important because it suggests the strategy has continued to add value even after a rougher stretch in market conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Over 3 years and 5 years, the fund\u2019s compounding pattern is stronger than the benchmark\u2019s by a wide margin. Our view is that the record looks more convincing over longer holding periods than over the latest few months, which is consistent with a portfolio that can move around in the short run but has still compounded well through time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 16 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_Quant_Quantamental\"><\/span>Should you BUY or HOLD Quant Quantamental?<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 Quant Quantamental?

The drop from the first holding to the tenth holding is moderate rather than steep, but the list still shows that a handful of positions carry much of the visible weight.<\/p>\n<p>Because the disclosed top 10 together account for 72.97% of the portfolio and there are 27 holdings in total, the fund appears fairly concentrated in its core names while still retaining a longer tail beyond the largest positions. That mix may keep the fund sensitive to stock-specific moves, especially because several of the biggest weights sit in cyclical or growth-sensitive areas such as finance, crude oil, trading, power and telecom.<\/p>\n<p>Our view is that this structure may contribute to stronger upside when the dominant holdings move well, but it could also make returns less smooth than a broadly diversified equity fund.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 16 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 who are comfortable with High Risk equity exposure and can tolerate uneven short-term outcomes. The 1-year record is modest, but the 3-year and 5-year numbers are much better, so the fund looks more suitable for a longer horizon than for money needed soon.<\/p>\n<p>The main trade-off is that you may accept periods of weakness in exchange for a strategy that has still compounded better than the benchmark over longer stretches. The portfolio concentration also means individual holdings can have a visible impact, so investors should be comfortable with stock-specific swings and should prefer a multi-year approach.<\/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> 1% if units are sold on or before 15 days; nil after 15 days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mf-source-date\"><small>Source data date: as of 16 Sep 2026<\/small><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_asked_questions\"><\/span>Frequently asked questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_current_NAV_of_Quant_Quantamental_Fund_Direct_Growth_Plan\"><\/span>What is the current NAV of Quant Quantamental Fund Direct Growth Plan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The current NAV is \u20b926.3329 as of 16 Sep 2026.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_funds_1-year_3-year_and_5-year_returns\"><\/span>What are the fund\u2019s 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The fund\u2019s returns are 8.6% over 1 year, 14.34% over 3 years and 18.56% over 5 years.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_the_fund_compare_with_the_Nifty_50_benchmark\"><\/span>How does the fund compare with the Nifty 50 benchmark?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It has been ahead of the Nifty 50 over 1 year, 3 years and 5 years.

The portfolio is fairly concentrated in its largest names, which may amplify both opportunity and volatility.
