Should you continue SIP in Quant Mutual Funds? ft. Sandeep Tandon | Know Your Fund Manager Ep. 9

Quant Mutual Fund manages public money using a unique VLRT framework. VLRT stands for Valuation, Liquidity, Risk, Sentiment, and Timing of the Markets, a data-driven approach that sets Quant apart from other mutual funds. Unlike conventional strategies that focus heavily on fundamentals and follow growth or value investing principles, Quant’s VLRT framework is said to assess market conditions to make investment decisions dynamically. The fund house claims this approach helps deliver better risk-adjusted returns for investors. To break this down, Satya Sontanam from Zerodha Varsity spoke with Sandeep Tandon, CIO of Quant Mutual Fund, about how VLRT works in practice and what it means for investors. If you invest in Quant Mutual Fund or are considering it, this conversation is a must-watch to understand their investment philosophy and what to expect from their funds.
