Markets are cyclical and different asset classes perform differently.

While it’s not easy for anyone to predict the next best-performing asset class, what most thoughtful investors do is stay invested for the long term with a balanced portfolio. Remember, a balanced portfolio helps you tackle fluctuating market cycles better and smoothens your investment journey. 


At Quantum, we recommend the simple 12-20-80 (Baaraa, Bees, aur Assi) Asset Allocation Strategy to build a diversified portfolio. The strategy has three crucial building blocks comprising EquityDebt and Gold. With our handy Asset Allocation Calculator, you can balance/rebalance your portfolio in just a few clicks to own a diversified basket of investments using actively or passively managed funds.


However, if you are unable to find the time to constantly balance your portfolio to suit the dynamic market movements, here is a convenient plug-and-play option to safeguard your future.


A Readymade Plug N Play - 3-in-1 Option


If you do not have the time to track/ balance your portfolio in many funds, you can consider investing in the Quantum Multi Asset Fund of Funds (QMAF). Launched in July 2012, this fund helps lower downside risk during market uncertainties through a balanced allocation. The Quantum Multi Asset Fund of Funds (QMAFOF) has a 10-year track record of navigating the market cycles. As the name suggests, this fund offers a dynamic portfolio that invests in not one, but THREE asset classes. QMAFOF is a Fund of Funds like a hybrid fund, offering investors exposure to three asset classes of equity, debt and gold in a single investment.


With QMAFOF, we allocate investments within three asset classes in the right proportion so that you can sail through any kind of changing market dynamics. The imperfect correlation between these asset classes will cut the impact of losses driven by falling markets.

Advantages of investing with QMAFOF


1. Balancing risk with reward:
The scheme has a 10-year track record of balancing risk-reward across market cycles.


2. Potential to earn long term risk-adjusted returns:

This fund is especially for those who are looking for an option to FDs. This fund can give you a flavour of equity investing while limiting downside risks compared to a pure equity fund. The fund has historically given better returns than FDs over the long-term (3 years and above). As you can see below, the 3-year rolling return has been better than an FD, 86% of the times since inception*.

Data as of Aug 31, 2022. The table above indicates the total number of days, the number of days it has underperformed compared
to an FD & percentage of outperformance. Note: The graph above has to be read in conjunction with the complete performance of the scheme provided

4. Cope better with inflation:
In current times, though FD interest rates are inching higher, they still fall behind the rate of inflation. With a diversified readymade portfolio using QMAFOF, you are better geared to earn a return that has the potential to beat inflation.

4. Flexibility to sit back and relax:
You do not have to be worried about how the markets might move tomorrow. The Fund Managers constantly balances & tracks scheme investments and to save you any type of hassle.


5. Agile across market cycles: With QMAFoF, your portfolio stays agile across market cycles. The Fund Manager strategically positions the scheme portfolio depending on the prevailing market cycle. He has the flexibility to allocate anywhere between 25%-65% of the portfolio to equity or debt and the balance 10% - 20% to gold.

For example, during the Covid-19 market crash in Mar 2020, fund manager took the opportunity to increase equity allocation from 25% to 50% in a single month. They  reallocate from one asset class to another while making sure not to take on undue risk in the process.

6. Unbiased allocation: The portfolio offers an unbiased allocation across equity, debt and gold.


Key Takeaways

To safeguard your future, it is important to find that balance between risk and reward by either using the DIY 12:20:80 Asset Allocation Approach or if you prefer a readymade portfolio, switch to the plug and play convenient option with the Quantum Multu Asset Fund of Funds.
