Common questions
How many quant / factor funds are there in India?
10 schemes (20 plans) as of 5 Nov 2026.
Have quant / factor funds beaten their index?
3 of 6 Regular plans with 3 years of history beat their benchmark's total-return index over the last 3 years.
Are sectoral and thematic funds risky?
More than diversified funds: they put most of the money into one sector or theme, so returns swing more and can lag for years. Most investors keep them to a small part of the portfolio.
Ratings describe past track records and are not a recommendation. Read the scheme documents before investing.
