The Importance of Diversification in Investing

Dear Investor,

We would like to express our sincerest appreciation for the trust you have placed in us. We hope your investments in one or more of Quantum’s funds have helped you in building wealth and achieving your financial goals for the long run. We often get peppered with questions on our other offerings, and realized a substantial number of you have interest in knowing more about the Quantum Multi-Asset Fund, which balances your portfolio in three asset classes – Equity, Debt and Gold. And so we would like to take this opportunity to help you understand this unique fund that can help you diversify and save for a rainy day. It’s a fund that minimizes the risk of investing in one asset class, because it invests across three asset classes, thereby taking care of your asset allocation needs too.

What do you mean by asset allocation? Good question!

Let’s take an analogy of grocery shopping. You’ve headed to the supermarket to stock up on your grocery for the month. You quickly pull out a shopping trolley and begin to scan the numerous shopping alleys – there are spices, vegetables, grains, meats, desserts, you name it. Think of asset allocation as diversifying your portfolio the same way you diversify your diet. A balanced fund/multi-asset fund would be the trolley in which you’ve placed all the items that you’re going to purchase that complete your diet.

But you don’t do that every time, do you? Sometimes, you may be in the mood to go home and watch TV with a big bowl of popcorn and ice cream. You’re not in the mood to be healthy. And that’s fine! Think of that as an allocation to, say, only equities. That on its own can be a very good thing, but it’s not advisable to construct your entire diet based on that, right? You need a good mix of healthy stuff in there too – especially as you grow older and a bit more caution is warranted!

Hence the Quantum Multi Asset Fund is a fund that consists of three such varieties, aiming to generate returns while reducing volatility. If you were to only load your shopping trolley with just snacks, it would lead to an unhealthy diet. Similarly, investing all your assets in just one asset class might not be healthy from an investment point of view.

Diversification is the greatest power in a multi-asset fund as it helps you balance your portfolio.

The key objective of the Quantum Multi Asset Fund or QMAF, is to generate modest capital appreciation while trying to reduce risk (by diversifying risks across asset classes) from a combined portfolio of equity, debt / money markets and Gold schemes of Quantum Mutual Fund. The combination of the asset classes of Equity, Debt and Gold will ensure you that all your investments in a multi-asset fund will reduce the pressure of market fluctuations and give your money the benefits of all the 3 asset classes. Investing in QMAF is less risky than pure equities. Thus, investing in such a fund can help you maintain a healthy investing style in the long run.
