Quant Teck Fund significantly lags its category peers, with 1-year and 3-year XIRRs of -1.64% and 1.24% versus category averages of 14.1% and 16.82%, respectively. The fund's performance has been inconsistent, with a strong 2024 (24.74%) followed by a sharp decline in 2025 (-15.53%), indicating high volatility and lack of stability. Over longer horizons, the fund has consistently underperformed the NIFTY 50, with negative alpha across most periods except the 15-year horizon where alpha is marginally positive.
This fund is suitable only for investors with a very high risk tolerance and a long-term horizon (7+ years) who can withstand significant drawdowns and prolonged recovery periods. It is not appropriate for conservative or moderate investors, given its poor risk-adjusted returns and underperformance relative to benchmarks and peers. Investors should be prepared for high volatility and the possibility of extended periods of negative returns, as evidenced by the current unrecovered drawdown.
- The fund has a low expense ratio of 0.78%, which is competitive for a sectoral/thematic fund.
- It has shown the ability to deliver strong returns in favorable market conditions, as seen in 2024 with a 24.74% return.
- The fund's upside capture ratio is above 100% across all periods, indicating it participates more than the benchmark during up markets.
- The fund has significantly underperformed its category average and benchmark over 1-year and 3-year periods, with negative alpha and lower XIRR.
- The portfolio is highly concentrated in a few sectors (IT and Telecom) and has only 11 holdings, increasing vulnerability to sector-specific risks and stock-specific volatility.
