The disclosure has no Long/Short column in the holdings table; side is DERIVED from the sign of '% to NAV' (negative = SHORT, positive = LONG) on each printed line. Short futures are confirmed independently by the sheet's 'Hedging Positions through Futures' table, which prints an explicit Long/Short flag per underlying. Note: negative lines under OTHERS / '(d) Other Receivables (Payables)' are accounting balances, not short positions, but are labelled SHORT by the same sign rule. disclosedSleeveLabels keys use the AMC's printed headers; sub-section rows are keyed '<MAJOR SECTION> / <printed sub-header>' to disambiguate repeated (a)/(b)/(c) letters. Percentages are reproduced at the file's own precision. Grand Total as printed: 100.0% of NAV / Rs. 75820.99 Lakhs. Verified: every row's '% to NAV' sums exactly to the printed Sub Total of its section. Stated exposure lines, quoted from the file: Total %age of existing assets hedged through futures 19.9; Total Exposure due to futures (non hedging positions) as a %age of net assets 5.81; Total %age of existing assets hedged through put options NIL; Total Exposure through options as a %age of net assets NIL; Total outstanding exposure in derivatives instruments as on 31-Jul-2026 is -14.09%.

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. 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. The exit load is unusually brief by SIF standards: 1% if you redeem or switch out on or before 15 days from allotment, and nil after that.

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.

“—” means the fund is too young for that period or the figure isn't disclosed yet. Default order: 3-month return. NAV and returns follow the plan selected above (Growth option); AUM and risk level from Value Research.

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 Chapter VI-C 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 the August 2026 Coverage 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 and 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.
