Quant Infrastructure Fund
Direct · GrowthAI Summary
Quant Infrastructure Fund has delivered strong SIP XIRR across all horizons, ranging from 21.72% (3Y) to 24.23% (10Y), consistently outperforming the category average SIP XIRR by roughly 5-8 percentage points. Against the NIFTY 50, the fund shows positive alpha across every period, from 5.88% (15Y) to 17.88% (1Y), with lump-sum CAGRs beating the benchmark in all windows. Recent 1-year performance of 27.65% XIRR reflects a sharp rebound, though calendar year returns show high variability, including -15.01% in 2013 and +81.86% in 2021.
The fund carries above-market risk, with beta above 1 in the 1Y, 3Y, and 5Y windows (up to 1.21), and downside capture exceeding 100% in the 3Y (108.95%) and 5Y (105.41%) periods, meaning it fell more than the benchmark in those windows. It has experienced 7 drawdown events greater than 10%, with the maximum drawdown lasting 791 days and taking 230 days to recover, underscoring the volatility inherent in a sectoral/thematic mandate. However, strong alpha and upside capture above 100% in most windows indicate the higher risk has been rewarded with superior risk-adjusted returns.
The portfolio is concentrated, holding only 24 stocks, with the top 10 accounting for roughly 55% of NAV. Adani group companies (Adani Green, Adani Power, Adani Enterprises, and Adani Energy Solutions) together represent about 25.4% of the portfolio, creating significant single-group concentration risk. Power is the largest sector at 20.1%, followed by Construction at 11.3%, with meaningful exposure to capital goods and infrastructure-linked businesses.
The fund beats the category average SIP XIRR at every measured horizon, with the widest gaps at 10Y (24.23% vs 16.71%) and 12Y (21.81% vs 16.25%). Its long-term consistency is notable, with rolling 10Y and 12Y mean returns above 20%, suggesting the outperformance is not driven by a single lucky period. As a sectoral/thematic fund, it should be judged against infrastructure peers, and its persistent alpha versus NIFTY 50 across 1Y through 15Y windows supports its standing among category leaders.
This fund suits investors with high risk tolerance who already hold a diversified core portfolio and want a tactical satellite allocation to the infrastructure and power themes. A long time horizon of at least 5-7 years is advisable, given the 791-day maximum drawdown duration and the theme's cyclicality. Investors should be comfortable with sharp calendar-year swings, such as the -15.01% in 2013 and +81.86% in 2021, and should cap exposure to a small share of their overall equity allocation.
- SIP XIRR beats the category average at every horizon, with a 10Y XIRR of 24.23% versus the category's 16.71%
- Consistent positive alpha versus NIFTY 50 across all periods from 1Y (17.88%) to 15Y (5.88%)
- Strong long-term rolling return consistency, with 10Y and 12Y rolling mean returns above 20%
- Heavy Adani group concentration of roughly 25.4% of NAV across four holdings creates single-group risk
- Downside capture above 100% in the 3Y (108.95%) and 5Y (105.41%) windows indicates amplified losses relative to the benchmark in weak markets

Gives more importance to longer time periods (10Y, 20Y) than shorter ones (1Y, 3Y). This balances out recent outperformance and gives a more realistic picture of what long-term returns might look like.
