It is important to note that there is no assurance that the investment objective of the scheme will be achieved, as per the company.
Nilesh Shah, Managing Director at KMAMC said, “Imagine an impactful partnership between an experienced umpire and advanced technology such as Decision Review System (DRS). In a similar fashion, Kotak Quant Fund combines the knowledge of our investment team with the invaluable insights obtained from our quant model. This dynamic collaboration, comparable to an umpire utilizing DRS, aims to construct a portfolio through a well-balanced and data-driven investment strategy. However, it is important to note that this fund should not be evaluated based on short-term performance and necessitates patience to witness results over a period of 3-5 years.”
Harsha Upadhyaya, CIO - Equity, KMAMC said, “Kotak Quant Fund seeks to generate long term capital appreciation with data-driven investing, where the wisdom of market data meets the quant model. By blending fundamental insights with behavioural factors, this open-ended equity scheme endeavours to deliver an optimized portfolio that paves the way for long-term capital appreciation. Embrace the future of investing and seize the potential for growth through our quant-based approach.”
