Multi Asset Funds To The Rescue...

We know times are bad!

What economies across the globe are witnessing, is something that no one ever saw coming.

The future is unpredictable.

Imagine, if you had invested all your money in just one asset class.

Say, Equities (hypothetically).

The stock market crash would have left you with nothing but money in a bank account!

That is why, having all your eggs in one basket is never a good idea.

If only more investors were informed enough to diversify in such a way that there was no need to time the markets or be deterred by any volatility.

Simply put, it is always advisable to have a balanced portfolio.

The difficult part here is, how does one know if their investments are balanced enough to give them risk adjusted returns?

The Quantum Multi Asset Fund of Funds (QMAFOF) aims to achieve just that.

It diversifies across asset classes - which mitigates risk of a particular asset class and provides risk adjusted returns.

One of its core aims is to reduce the volatility of returns, by reducing dependency on a single asset class for the same.

The Quantum Multi Asset Fund of Funds has been achieving all of this for years now. Here is a glimpse of the fund pitted against a Fixed Deposit since its inception. This has to be read in conjunction with performance of the scheme provided in the table below*.

You see, the Quantum Multi Asset Fund of Funds follows a regular rebalancing approach within each asset class, which allows investors to generate good risk adjusted returns through diversification of investments.

This makes it a better and a more tax efficient option for investors who park their money in long term FDs (3 years and above). That’s because unlike fixed deposit returns which are taxed as per the income tax slab of the investor, Quantum Multi Asset Fund of Fund’s long term capital gains are taxed at 20% with the benefits of indexation. If the investment is withdrawn within 3 years short term capital gains are taxed as per the investors income tax slab.

To make things clearer, please have a look at the asset allocation strategy the fund follows:

Ideal asset allocation is not static. Asset allocation needs to change depending on an asset class’s relative performance vis-à-vis other asset class.

The Quantum Multi Asset Fund of Funds follows such a dynamic portfolio allocation technique, which makes it unique.
