Our View: This fund has generated over 22% annualised returns since inception. This fund has a beta of 0.98 (lower than 1 is good) and alpha of 2.63 (positive alpha is good). Currently, this fund invests 54% in large cap, 42% in midcap and 4% in the small cap segment. This is the outperforming fund in the large cap and mid cap mutual funds segment in medium to long term. Since it invests in midcap and smallcap segment too, it is high risk fund. If you are a high risk investor, you can add to this fund as part of your portfolio.

#2 – Quant Tax Plan

Where does the Fund Invest?

This is an ELSS mutual fund that invests in a diversified portfolio of equity with lock-in of 3 years and tax benefits u/s 80c up to Rs 1.5 lacs.

How is the performance of the fund?

5 Years annualised returns – 21%

10 Years annualised returns – 21%

Rolling Returns

From a 3 year rolling return perspective, this fund generated:

  • Over 10% returns – 82.5% of the times
  • 1% to 10% returns – 15% of the times
  • Negative returns – 2.5% of times

Currently, this fund invests 76% in large cap, 21% in midcap and 3% in the small cap segment. This fund has heavily invested in Adani stocks (including Ambuja Cement) of over 13%. We could see a huge crash in Adani stocks in the last few weeks. While the fund has outstanding performance in the medium to long term, this fund appears to be riskier at this point of time. Let the Adani saga stabilise and then one can look at investing in such funds.

#3 – Axis Midcap Fund

Where does the Fund Invest?

This fund invests majorly in mid cap companies.

How is the performance of the fund?

Annualised Returns

3 Years annualised returns – 18%

  • Negative returns – Zero times

Our View: This fund has generated over 18% annualised returns since inception. This fund has a beta of 0.76 (lower than 1 is good) and negative alpha (positive alpha is good). Currently, this fund invests 26% in large cap and 74% in midcap segment. Majority of Axis MFs have shown pathetic performance in the last 1 year. We could see this after Axis MF revealed that their fund managers were front running (provide upfront info about buying or selling of stocks to brokers / agents who would make money and in return gave hefty money to the fund managers). While the fund has outstanding performance in the medium to long term, this fund appears to be riskier at this point of time. One should wait and watch the performance before entering into such funds.
