Investment Objective
Quant Small Cap Fund aims to generate long term capital appreciation & growth opportunities by investing in a portfolio of small cap companies.
Investment Strategies
- Quant Small Cap Fund invests at least 65% in equity and related instruments of small cap companies and 35% in the top 250 stocks by market capitalization (large & midcaps) across industries to optimise risk-return payoffs.
- The fund invests in small cap companies selling at a significant discount to their intrinsic value.
- The fund managers consider the company’s ability to earn return on capital invested, generate free cash flow over the long term and allocate capital efficiently.
- The fund’s investment decisions are based on the VLRT (Valuation, Liquidity, Risk Appetite & Time) Framework and Predictive Analytics tools of the fund house, which allow it to manage known risks and identify opportunities dynamically.
- The fund actively manages its portfolio according to the changing market conditions to effectively navigate through market cycles and generate consistent returns.
- The fund invests in under-researched and under-owned companies, which creates an opportunity to find hidden growth potential.
- The fund invests in small and promising companies at an early stage of growth and having the potential to outperform broader markets.
- The fund follows a sector agnostic investment approach and takes an unconstrained stock selection process, i.e., stock picking is flexible, allowing the fund to invest in opportunities having higher return potential.
Who Should Invest
- Quant Small Cap Fund is apt for long-term investors, i.e., 5 years and above.
- Investors having a higher risk appetite and looking to invest in small-cap stocks of relatively lesser-known companies with competitive advantages and strong growth potential.
- Those who want to participate in the rally of small cap stocks having the highest growth potential during bull phases.
- Investors looking to diversify their portfolios by adding small yet promising niche businesses with strong fundamentals and significant long-term growth potential.
