This Republic Day, build a Strong Foundation for your Equity Portfolio

India is celebrating its 75th Republic Day. This day commemorates the adoption of the Indian Constitution, a document that enshrines ideals of equality and charts a roadmap for India’s future. As we celebrate this Day, it's an opportune time to reflect on whether you have a strong foundation for your investments, that can provide stability and security you need to achieve your financial goals.

Strengthen the Foundation of your Equity Portfolio

Equity investments are ideal for wealth creation. However, by their inherent nature, it’s not easy to predict outcomes due to the macroeconomic uncertainties. While on one hand, you need to include mutual funds that provide high growth potential to your diversified equity basket, you also need a strong base that can provide stability to your portfolio.

Quantum Long Term Equity Value Fund serves as a foundation to your equity portfolio offering unique upside potential to provide predictable outcomes to help achieve your long-term goals with confidence.

Please note the above is a suggested fund allocation only and not as an investment advice / recommendation.

Make this fund an anchor for your equity portfolio for the following reasons:

Robust Investment Process for Delivering Predictable Outcomes

Quantum Long Term Equity Value fund has a unique process driven approach to deliver predictable outcomes. This certainty of outcome is the result of a disciplined research and bottom-up stock selection process to select opportunities that are undervalued relative to historical performance. The fund is primarily mindful of valuations by setting pre-defined buy-sell limits. We select companies trading at a 25-40% discount to its 2-year forward intrinsic value, coupled with catalysts for realizing their estimated upside potential. The upside potential is the difference between forward intrinsic value and current share price.

***The above graph shows the estimate of rebased GAV of Quantum Long Term Equity Value Fund – Direct Plan – Growth Option on the basis of Upside Potential of the portfolio (equal to the sum total of weight of each stock (multiplied by) the percentage difference between the current market price and the sell limits assigned to each stock in the portfolio by the in-house research teams). The performance returns are net of fees and expenses, and assuming reinvestment of all dividends and other earnings. Past performance may or may not be sustained in the future.

The fund has a 17-year track record of weathering market cycles while safeguarding investor wealth during significant global macro events, such as the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) and the Covid pandemic. Our estimated upside potential has closely matched actual performance over the years. The estimated increase of 9.8 times in 17 years, at a robust 13.8% CAGR, mirrors the actual growth of the Portfolio NAV, which increased by 10.1 times at a 14% CAGR over the same period.
