360 ONE Quant Fund Direct Growth Review 2026: NAV, Returns, Portfolio & Should You Invest?

360 ONE Quant Fund Direct Growth Plan currently has a NAV of ₹19.4551 as of 16 September 2026 and scheme assets of ₹845 Cr. Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are -5.58%, 14.08% and 0%, respectively, and it sits in the High Risk category. Our view is that this is a fund for investors who can tolerate sharp swings and who are comfortable with a portfolio that is positioned more for active stock selection than for broad market tracking.

The recent return pattern is uneven, but the 3-year record is clearly better than the 1-year outcome. That makes it more suitable for investors who can stay invested through weaker stretches and judge the scheme over a longer holding period rather than through one short period alone.

1M	-4.9%	-4.41%
3M	-0.5%	-3.6%

The fund has been weak over the most recent month and quarter, which tells us that near-term momentum is still fragile. Even so, the 3-month result is less negative than the benchmark, and the 1-year figure is also ahead of the benchmark’s 1-year outcome. That means the fund has held up better than Nifty 50 over the recent one-year stretch, even though both have been under pressure.

The longer view is more constructive. The 3-year return of 14.08% is materially stronger than the benchmark’s 5.74%, which suggests the strategy has added value over a fuller market cycle. The 5-year line is not available because the scheme launched in November 2021, so investors do not yet have a full five-year history to judge from.

The pattern across the time buckets is mixed rather than smooth. The daily path over the last three months and one year shows periods of drift, recovery and renewed weakness, so the fund does not behave like a steady defensive product. Our read-through is that investors are being paid for active positioning, but that positioning can also produce short stretches of underperformance.

For investors comparing it with the benchmark, the main point is that the fund’s edge is more visible over 3 years than over 1 year. That is important because it means the recent softness does not erase the stronger medium-term record, but it does remind investors that the ride can be uneven.

The fund’s 1-year return trails the strongest peer numbers in this set, and the gap is wide. Even so, the 3-year figure is stronger than every peer in this table with an available 3-year return, including the only peer that has both 1-year and 3-year numbers here. That creates a split picture: the shorter-term comparison is soft, while the medium-term comparison is more supportive.

Because most peer rows do not have 3-year or 5-year figures available, the table is most useful for one clear message: this fund has not matched the standout recent 1-year figures shown by several peers, but its 3-year record stands out more positively. The short-term and longer-term views therefore tell different stories, and the longer view is the more favourable one for this scheme.

The single largest position, Divi’s Laboratories, is 4.14%, which is only modestly above the next few holdings rather than dominating the book. The gap from the first holding to the tenth is small in absolute terms, falling from 4.14% to 3.21%, so the visible portfolio is fairly tightly grouped at the top.

That said, the first 10 names together account for 34.57% across a total of 35 disclosed holdings, so the rest of the portfolio still matters. Our view is that this structure may reduce dependence on one or two positions, while still leaving several mid-sized holdings with meaningful influence.

The sector mix in the top holdings leans toward healthcare, automobiles, and finance, which may make performance more dependent on stock selection within these areas. Since the disclosed holdings extend well beyond the first 10, the scheme appears to use a reasonably long tail rather than concentrating the entire portfolio in a few bets.

Who should invest

This fund suits investors with a high risk tolerance and a horizon long enough to look beyond month-to-month swings. The 1-year outcome is weak, but the 3-year record is stronger than the benchmark, so patience matters more here than quick performance chasing.

The main trade-off is that investors may have to accept a choppier ride in exchange for the possibility of better medium-term outcomes. That makes it more relevant for people who are comfortable with active equity exposure and can tolerate periods when the fund lags the market.
