SBI Mutual Fund launches quant fund
(13:31, 11 Dec 2024)
SBI Mutual Fund (MF) has introduced the SBI Quant Fund, a new equity investment scheme that employs a rule-based, multi-factor approach to portfolio management. The fund leverages momentum, value, quality, and growth factors to build a diversified investment strategy, guided by the fund house's proprietary quantitative model.

This open-ended equity scheme, benchmarked against the BSE 200 Total Return Index (TRI), is open for subscription until December 18, 2024. Post this period, it will reopen for continuous sale and redemption within five business days after the allotment date.

The SBI Quant Fund requires a minimum initial investment of Rs 5,000, with additional investments allowed in multiples of Re 1. For subsequent purchases, the minimum amount is set at Rs 1,000, also in multiples of Re 1. Investors can redeem or switch out units with a minimum value of Rs 500, or one unit, whichever is lower.

An exit load of 0.5% applies if units are redeemed within six months of allotment, while no charge applies after six months. The fund house emphasized the advantages of a multi-factor strategy over single-factor funds, highlighting its ability to provide diversification, reduce downside risks, and deliver higher risk-adjusted returns.

The scheme's investment allocation includes 80-100% in equity and equity-related instruments selected through its quantitative model. It may also invest up to 20% in other equity instruments, debt securities, or money market instruments, and up to 10% in units issued by REITs and InvITs.

The SBI Quant Fund employs a dynamic allocation model that adjusts weights across the four factors'momentum, value, quality, and growth'based on their relative performance. Overperforming factors receive higher weightage, capped at 35%, while underperforming factors trigger rebalancing if their weight falls below -8%.

The fund's strategy incorporates four key factors: Momentum, which focuses on short- and long-term price performance; Value, identified through low valuation metrics; Quality, characterized by stocks with high return on equity (ROE), consistent earnings growth, and low leverage; and Growth, targeting companies with robust earnings growth and upgrades.

The fund's algorithm aims to reduce volatility, smooth out cyclical returns, and mitigate behavioural biases through its systematic approach.

SBI MF described the fund as an ideal choice for investors seeking exposure to India's growth story through a disciplined, data-driven investment framework. Multi-factor investing combines various factors to smooth out the cyclicality of returns and minimize biases. This fund aims to integrate established equity factors for optimal risk-adjusted returns, making it a compelling choice for long-term investors.
