How to Invest in the schemes of Quant Mutual Fund?
There are three ways to invest in Quant Mutual Fund's schemes
1. Through AMC's official website
2. Through a distributor
3. Through the ET Money platform
To invest through the Quant Mutual Fund website, the first step is to sign up and create an account. Then, follow the ensuing steps.
However, this could be a hassle when you invest in multiple mutual funds from different AMCs. It would require you to sign up with each fund house separately, making it difficult to track your investments and analyze them.
While investing through a distributor, you will pay a higher expense ratio because the distributor charges a commission on your investment. This affects your overall returns. A simpler, efficient and more effective way of investing in the schemes from Quant Mutual Fund or any other fund house is through the ET Money platform.
Just sign up once, and you can start investing in the schemes from different AMCs. You can also choose from various schemes of Quant Mutual Fund. That, too, at a lower expense ratio since ET Money is a direct investment platform. That's not all; you can track your existing portfolio on ET Money and view all your old and new investments on one platform, making it much easier to track and make better-informed decisions.
Further, the ET Money investment platform offers many valuable details like the fund's past performance, returns consistency, downside protection, fund history, expense ratio and exit load, among others.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Quant Mutual Fund's schemes safe to invest in?
As a company, Quant Mutual Fund is one of the oldest AMCs in India. However, no AMC can guarantee the safety of capital when it comes to market-linked investments like mutual funds. The best you can do is evaluate and choose a fund that suits your requirement and aim for growth.
Which Quant Mutual Fund's scheme is best for the short term?
Generally, 'short term' refers to an investment tenure of up to three years. Debt funds are ideal for such investments, but when investing in them, remember to match your investment horizon with the average portfolio maturity of the fund. For example, choose overnight funds if the investment is just for a few days. If you are planning to invest up to three months, liquid funds are ideal. Low-duration funds have an average maturity ranging between six and 12 months, while short-duration funds hold securities that mature between one and three years.
Are Quant Mutual Fund's schemes tax-free?
All mutual fund investments come with capital gains tax in the long term and short term, depending on the type of fund you invest in and the investment period.
Mutual fund type | Holding period | Type of capital gains tax | Tax liability |
Debt-oriented funds | Less than 36 months | Short-term capital gains | As per the investor's income tax slab rate |
Equity-oriented funds | Less than 12 months | Short-term capital gains | 15% |
Debt-oriented funds | Greater than 36 months | Long-term capital gains | 20% with indexation |
Equity-oriented funds | Greater than 12 months | Long-term capital gains | 10% for amount exceeding Rs 1 Lakh |
As you can see, it is not the fund that's taxable or tax-free; it is the gains that you earn that can be taxable depending on the period of investment and type of scheme.
How can I cancel the ongoing SIP in a Quant Mutual Fund's scheme?
If you wish to discontinue your ongoing SIP with Quant MF, you must visit the mutual fund?s official website or the online investing portal you used to create the SIP mandate.

How Can I increase the SIP amount in a Quant Mutual Fund's scheme?
You can do this in two ways. The first step is to choose the top-up SIP option right at the beginning when you start your investments. This lets you automatically increase the SIP amount by a predefined percentage (say 25%) or amount (say Rs 2,000) at regular intervals, like quarterly or annually. The other option is to start a new SIP in the same fund to increase the investment amount.
