Tell me more about the Quantum Multi Asset Fund or QMAF.
A multi-asset class investment would contain more than one asset class, thus creating a group or portfolio of assets. Multi-asset class investments increase the diversification of an overall portfolio by distributing investments throughout several asset classes. This reduces risk (volatility) compared to holding one class of asset.
Quantum Multi Asset Fund - QMAF is an open ended Fund of Funds scheme which will invest in various Quantum Mutual Fund Schemes. These schemes of Quantum Mutual Fund will fall in to different asset classes of Equity, Debt and Gold.
It is pertinent to note that Quantum Mutual Fund is India’s first and only Direct to Investor fund house and does not pay any commission whatsoever to distributors. Not paying commissions decreases the expense of most of our schemes and thereby adds to the returns of the schemes (subject to performance).
