Reading this statement. 41 lines as printed by the AMC: 22 cash equity, 6 derivative, 10 money-market, 3 other. Long/Short is the AMC's own flag where the statement carries one, otherwise the sign of the printed quantity or percentage. Futures and options are often printed as exposure outside the 100% net-asset total, so the lines need not add up to 100. How to read derivative positions →

Normalised from the AMC's published portfolio statement. Derivative market value, notional exposure and regulatory gross exposure can be measured on different bases, so the AMC's own statement remains controlling. Short and written positions are shown as negative exposure. Holdings are historical and change without notice — this is not a recommendation to buy or sell any security.

How the fund actually invests

A flexi-cap equity long-short strategy holding 80–100% in equity and equity-related instruments, with unhedged short exposure of up to 25% of net assets. Benchmarked to the Nifty 500 TRI, open-ended with daily dealing, and run on Quant's MARCOV framework — the SIF-specific process, distinct from the VLRT framework used on their mutual funds.

The objective, as stated by the AMC. Quant defines the aim as generating "long-term capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of equity and equity-related instruments while employing limited short exposure through derivatives to enhance returns and manage risk efficiently," with the standard no-assurance caveat.

An equity-dominant book with a bounded short sleeve. The disclosed allocation is 80–100% to equity and equity-related instruments (inclusive of unhedged short exposure), 0–20% to debt and money market, and 0–20% to REITs and InvITs. Unhedged short exposure is capped at 25% of net assets, expressed through stock futures, index futures and options.

MARCOV, not VLRT — the distinction matters. Quant markets VLRT as the framework behind its mutual funds. For its SIF strategies the firm uses a separate process it calls MARCOV, described as combining High Frequency Analytics (70%) with Low Frequency Analytics (30%). The long universe is drawn from the BSE ALLCAP Index and the short universe from the F&O basket, with gross exposure capped so that no leverage is employed.

Daily dealing and a very short load window. This is an open-ended strategy rather than an interval one, dealing on business days. For investments made from 11 September 2026 the exit load is 3% if you redeem or switch out on or before 30 days from allotment, and nil after that (qsif Addendum 15/2026); earlier investments keep 1% within 15 days.

One of India's first SIFs. Allotted on 7 October 2025, this is among the earliest Specialized Investment Funds launched after SEBI opened the category — so it carries one of the longer verified track records in a universe where most strategies are only months old.

Documents & source files

Everything on this page traces back to a document Quant published. Here they are, so you can read the primary source yourself rather than take our word for it.

When new documents appear. AMCs publish the previous month's factsheet and portfolio disclosure in the first week or so of each month — so from around the 8th you can generally expect the prior month-end file. Our desk re-checks every AMC on that cycle and updates the holdings and figures on this page. Links point to the AMC's own site, so you always land on their current file, not a stale copy of ours.

Every Equity Long-Short SIF we track

All Equity Long-Short funds we track, with their latest NAV, trailing returns, size and risk level. This fund is highlighted. Click a column heading to sort the table; the # column then shows each fund's position on that column. It is arithmetic on the period you chose, not a rating or a recommendation. Most SIFs are young, so check each fund's age before comparing. Open any fund's page from its name, or use the compare tool for a side-by-side view.

What an Equity Long-Short SIF actually does

Holds at least 80% in equity and equity-related instruments, with unhedged short exposure of up to 25% of net assets taken through derivatives — an all-cap approach with a derivative overlay.

Every Specialized Investment Fund sits between mutual funds and PMS: a ₹10 lakh minimum (aggregated per PAN per AMC), SEBI's SIF framework, and mutual-fund-grade taxation — equity-oriented strategies attract 12.5% LTCG after 12 months. Learn the mechanics on our What is a SIF page, or read our monthly SIF Performance Report.

On sourcing. The scheme facts on this page are taken from the AMC's own Scheme Information Document, Investment Strategy Information Document and Key Information Memorandum, with the source linked above. The live NAV comes from AMFI; AUM from the fund house's portfolio statement of 30 Sep 2026; risk level from Value Research; the expense ratio from AMFI. Where a detail is not disclosed by the AMC we say so rather than estimate it — we never guess a number.
