About Quant Mutual Fund
Quant is the only Indian AMC running a fully systematic, predictive-analytics-first investment process — every fund decision passes through their proprietary VLRT framework (Valuation, Liquidity, Risk Appetite, Time).
qSIF is the broadest SIF lineup from any Indian AMC, with four schemes spanning Equity Long-Short, Hybrid Long-Short, Ex-Top 100, and Active Asset Allocator. Their long-short approach uses derivative-based shorts driven by quantitative signals rather than discretionary calls.

Frequently asked questions about qSIF
- What is qSIF?
- qSIF is the brand under which Quant Mutual Fund offers its Specialized Investment Funds — a SEBI-regulated category launched on April 1, 2025 that bridges mutual funds and PMS. Quant Mutual Fund launched its first SIF in October 2025.
- How many SIFs does Quant have?
- Quant Mutual Fund currently offers 4 Specialized Investment Funds: qSIF Hybrid, qSIF Equity, qSIF Ex-Top 100, qSIF AAA. They are all listed below with live NAV, since-inception returns, and SIFPrime's Alpha Shield capital-protection score.
- Is Quant's SIF a good investment?
- "Good" depends on your risk profile and time horizon — but the more useful question is how each qSIF fund stacks up against its category peers on capital protection during the March 2026 crash. SIFPrime's Alpha Shield score, shown in the table below, is the cleanest signal of whether the fund manager's long-short machinery actually delivered when the market corrected. Always read the Scheme Information Document and consult a SEBI-registered investment advisor before committing ₹10 lakh.
- What's special about Quant's SIF approach?
- qSIF is the broadest SIF lineup from any Indian AMC, with four schemes spanning Equity Long-Short, Hybrid Long-Short, Ex-Top 100, and Active Asset Allocator. Their long-short approach uses derivative-based shorts driven by quantitative signals rather than discretionary calls.
- What is the minimum investment in qSIF?
- ₹10,00,000 (10 lakh rupees) per PAN — the SEBI-mandated floor for all Specialized Investment Funds in India, regardless of AMC. There is no upper limit. Quant Mutual Fund accepts subscriptions through Direct (their website, no commission) and Regular (via empanelled MFDs and RIAs).
- Where can I see live qSIF NAV?
- SIFPrime updates qSIF NAVs daily — see the fund table below. The official Quant website also publishes NAV and is the source we cross-check against.
