Unlock Potential to Earn Better Returns than Your FDs - With This Investment Option

Are uncertain times making you invest in a Fixed Deposit?

Is your money lying invested in a 3 year Fixed Deposit?

Given the way Fixed Deposit interest rates have fallen since the past few years, you should look out for an investment option, which has the potential to provide better risk-adjusted returns and retain the flexibility of getting some or all of your money when you need it the most.

Consider investing in a diversified Mutual Fund instead. Quantum Multi Asset Fund of Funds (QMAFOF) has a 9-year track record of skillfully navigating the market uncertainty by diversifying across the three asset classes of equity, debt and gold.

1.  Potential to earn long term risk-adjusted returns

It has been observed that QMAFOF has historically given better returns than FDs over the long term (3 years and above). As you can see in the charts below, the fund has performed better than the 3 year rolling FD return, 84% of the times during the given period*.

Past performance may or may not be sustained in the future. Load is not taken into consideration in scheme returns calculation.
Data as of April 30, 2021

Different Plans shall have a different expense structure.

Returns are net of total expenses and are calculated on the basis of Compounded Annualized Growth Rate (CAGR).

2.  A 9 year track record of balancing risk with reward across market cycles

The fund manager of QMAFOF has the agility to strategically position the portfolio depending on the prevailing market cycle, thereby reducing your investment portfolio risk. He has the flexibility to balance 25% - 65% of weightage to equity and debt and the balance 10% - 20% to Gold.

3.  Better tax-efficiency with indexation benefit

You can save more tax when you invest in the Quantum Multi Asset Fund of Funds than parking your money in FDs for the duration of 3 years and above. Unlike fixed deposit returns which are taxed as per the income tax slab of the investor, Quantum Multi Asset Fund of Funds' long term capital gains are taxed at 20% with the benefits of indexation. This translates to a better return on investment, especially for investors in the highest income tax bracket.

Let’s understand the indexation benefit with an illustration. Suppose an investor invested Rs.1,00,00 in Jan 2018 and redeemed his investment 3 years later in Jan 2021. For the sake of comparison, the rate of return on Multi Asset Fund of Funds has been assumed at the same rate of an FD at 5.1% for a period of 3 years.

Indexation Benefit Table:

The above table is for illustration purposes only to explain the benefit of indexation. As you see in the illustration above, you can save Rs. 3741.22 / earn 1.15 % more return in the form of indexation benefit on your long-term capital gains.

4.  Cope better with inflation

Inflation can drastically curtail the real return on your fixed deposit, thereby capping your wealth creation goals. On the other hand, the equity component in Quantum Multi Asset Fund of Funds gives your investments the potential to grow over the long term and the potential to cope better with inflation.

So if you are looking for a better risk-reward potential than a 3-year FD, start investing in the Quantum Multi Asset Fund of Funds today!
