Should you stay invested in Quant MF after Sebi probe?

Distributors and advisers who thought Quant was a new fund with a small track record are now asking investors to wait and watch rather than simply exit

They smell a conspiracy cooked by the competition to pull down the fund. While the current front-running controversy has put investors in a dilemma, they are clear about one thing — they want to stay invested with the fund. Who are ‘they’ and why are they still with the fund? They are the investors in Quant Mutual Fund (MF), where returns are high and exit loads are the lowest. Be it a long-term investor or a short-term trader, Quant has the answer for everyone.
Contrary to expectations, the ongoing Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) investigation has got more advisers supporting Quant MF. These are the same people who were earlier sceptical about the fund’s ability to generate returns. This has a lot to do with a video that Sandeep Tandon, founder and chief investment officer (CIO) of Quant MF, released a few days ago explaining his risk-management process. He also explained his positions on Adani Group during the Hindenberg report.
