Quantum Multi Asset Active FoF Direct Growth Review 2026: NAV, Returns, Portfolio & Should You Invest?

Quantum Multi Asset Active FoF Direct Growth Plan currently has a NAV of ₹37.4054 as of 07 Sep 2026 and scheme AUM of ₹79 Cr. Its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year returns are 6.37%, 11.35% and 9.8%, and the fund sits in the High Risk category.

Our view is that this is a multi-asset fund that has held up better over longer horizons than in the latest year, while still carrying meaningful volatility. The portfolio is built around other Quantum funds, gold and cash-like exposure, so it is better suited to investors who can accept uneven short-term movement in exchange for a steadier longer-run mix.

Performance

Period	Fund return	Benchmark return
1M	-1.35%	-3.86%
3M	2.11%	1.69%
1Y	6.37%	-5.72%
3Y	11.35%	6.3%
5Y	9.8%	6.05%

The recent pattern looks uneven but not broken. Over one month, the fund fell less than the benchmark, which matters because it shows some cushioning when markets soften. Over three months, it also stayed a touch ahead of the benchmark, suggesting that the recent phase has been more resilient than the broad index even if the gains are not dramatic.

The longer view is more favourable. The 1-year return is positive while the benchmark is negative, which tells us the fund has navigated a difficult year better than the index. The 3-year and 5-year returns are also ahead of the benchmark, so the medium-term and long-term compounding story remains stronger than the straight equity yardstick used here.

That said, the shape of returns is not smooth. The monthly and quarterly moves point to periods of pressure and recovery rather than a linear climb. For investors, that usually means the fund may serve better as a diversification sleeve than as a one-directional growth engine.

Its longer-run behaviour is still more constructive than the recent volatility would suggest. The fund has maintained an edge over the benchmark across all the headline periods shown, but the gap is narrower in the shortest window than it is over 3 years and 5 years.

Should you BUY or HOLD Quantum Multi Asset Active FoF?

Against the peer set, this fund’s 1-year return is far more subdued than the silver-focused FoFs listed here. That is not surprising for a multi-asset structure that mixes equity-oriented funds, liquid exposure, gold and cash-like assets, but it does show that the fund has not participated in the same kind of sharp recent momentum.

The comparison becomes more balanced over longer horizons. Where available, the 3-year return is below the stronger silver FoF figures, yet the fund’s 5-year return remains respectable and clearly above the benchmark shown earlier. So the short-term peer picture and the longer-term peer picture do not tell the same story.

For investors, that difference matters. The fund has a more measured return profile than the peer set’s recent winners, but its multi-asset design may offer a different balance of growth and stability than a commodity-heavy FoF can provide.

Portfolio: where your money goes

Holding	Sector	Weight
Quantum Value Fund – Direct Plan – Growth Option*	Domestic Mutual Funds Units	31.23%
Quantum Liquid Fund – Direct Plan – Growth Option*	Domestic Mutual Funds Units	20.18%
Quantum Esg Best in Class Strategy Fund – Direct Plan – Growth Option*	Domestic Mutual Funds Units	17.21%
Quantum Gold ETF*	Domestic Mutual Funds Units – Gold	15.55%
Quantum Dynamic Term Fund – Direct Plan – Growth Option*	Domestic Mutual Funds Units	13.9%
TREPS ^	Cash & Cash Equivalents and Net Assets	2.01%

The largest holding is Quantum Value Fund – Direct Plan – Growth Option* at 31.23%, which is a meaningful anchor within the portfolio. The next four positions also remain sizable, so the fund is not relying on a single sleeve alone; instead, it spreads exposure across internal fund holdings, gold and a small cash-like component.

The fall-off from the largest holding to the last disclosed holding is steep, but not extreme, because the listed positions still sit within a fairly tight set of core allocations. That makes the portfolio likely to be influenced most by the first few holdings, especially the equity-oriented Quantum Value Fund, the liquid fund sleeve and the gold ETF exposure.

With six disclosed holdings accounting for 100% of the disclosed portfolio, the structure looks concentrated at the top but still multi-asset in nature. That mix may help moderate dependence on one market driver, although it can also mean returns reflect how different asset sleeves behave at different times.

Who should invest

This fund fits investors who are comfortable with High Risk exposure and can stay invested for a longer period. Its return pattern shows better outcomes over 3 years and 5 years than over the latest 1-year stretch, so a short holding period is unlikely to capture the fuller benefit of the structure.

The main trade-off is between diversification and immediacy. The multi-asset construction may soften some market swings, but it can also mean the fund does not move as sharply as the fastest-rising peers in very strong stretches. Investors who want a steadier blend of equity, liquid, gold and other fund exposure may find that balance useful.
