Fund Overview

quant Infrastructure FundOption — Quick Summary

Quant Infrastructure Fund applies Quant Mutual Fund's distinctive quantitative VLRT investment framework to infrastructure sector investing. This makes it fundamentally different from all other infrastructure sector funds — where managers use fundamental analysis, Quant uses a systematic quantitative model that considers valuation, liquidity, risk and timing signals simultaneously. The quantitative approach removes human emotional bias from the investment process.

The fund has delivered strong performance in recent years — but this needs to be evaluated in the context of Quant MF's overall investment approach which has generated significant controversy and discussion about the sustainability of its returns. Quant MF's quantitative models have been questioned by market observers regarding the consistency of their alpha generation signals across different market environments.
