Frequently asked questions

What is qSIF Active Asset Allocator Long-Short?
qSIF Active Asset Allocator Long-Short is an open-ended Specialized Investment Fund that dynamically rotates allocation across equity, debt and arbitrage based on market conditions, with derivative-based hedging, managed by Quant Mutual Fund. It is a SEBI-regulated Specialized Investment Fund (SIF) — a category introduced in April 2025 that sits between traditional mutual funds and PMS, with a ₹10 lakh minimum investment. The fund is benchmarked to Nifty 50 Hybrid Composite Debt 50:50.
What is the minimum investment in qSIF AAA?
The minimum investment in qSIF Active Asset Allocator Long-Short is ₹10,00,000 (10 lakh rupees) — the SEBI-mandated floor for all Specialized Investment Funds in India. There is no upper limit. Subsequent investments through SIP or lumpsum follow the same minimum unit threshold per SEBI rules.
Is qSIF AAA a safe investment?
Lower equity beta than a pure equity SIF because allocation rotates between debt and equity based on signals. Risk profile is moderate; drawdowns are typically smaller but upside in bull markets is also capped relative to long-only equity funds. qSIF AAA is regulated by SEBI under the SIF framework, has the same custodian, audit and disclosure standards as a mutual fund, and the AMC Quant Mutual Fund is responsible for managing the fund within its stated mandate. However, "safe" is relative — past returns and crash-period performance are the better guide. See the live performance and Alpha Shield score for qSIF AAA above.
How is qSIF AAA different from a regular mutual fund?
Unlike a mutual fund, qSIF AAA can take unhedged short positions (up to 25% of NAV) using derivatives. This allows the fund manager to profit when stocks fall, not just when they rise. The trade-off is a higher minimum investment (₹10 lakh vs ₹500 for an MF SIP) and slightly higher Total Expense Ratio. SIFs follow daily NAV publication, mutual-fund-level governance, and the same tax treatment as the underlying asset class.
How are qSIF AAA returns taxed in India?
qSIF AAA is taxed based on its underlying portfolio composition, exactly like a mutual fund of the same category. Equity-oriented SIFs (>65% equity) qualify for equity taxation: 12.5% LTCG above ₹1.25 lakh after 12 months, 20% STCG before 12 months. Hybrid and debt-oriented SIFs are taxed at the investor's slab rate as per the post-April-2023 debt fund regime. See the SIFPrime tax guide for worked examples.
What is the expense ratio (TER) of qSIF AAA?
qSIF AAA's TER is published in the latest Scheme Information Document and on the AMC website. Direct plans are always cheaper than Regular plans (typically by 50–100 bps) because they do not include distributor commission. Direct plans are recommended for self-directed investors; Regular plans for investors using an MFD.
How can I invest in qSIF AAA?
qSIF AAA is currently in its New Fund Offer (NFO) period. You can invest in qSIF AAA directly through the Quant Mutual Fund website (Direct plan), via a SEBI-registered Mutual Fund Distributor or RIA (Regular plan), or through online platforms that have onboarded SIFs. SIFPrime does not sell funds — we provide independent comparison and ratings. The minimum NFO investment is ₹10 lakh.
