Quant Mutual Fund launches Hybrid Long-Short SIF

Quant Mutual Fund has launched its second Specialised Investment Fund (SIF), the QSIF Hybrid Long-Short Fund, an investment scheme combining equity and debt strategies with a limited shorting option. The new fund offer (NFO) opened for subscription on September 25, 2025, and will close on October 9. Units will reopen for continuous sale and repurchase within five business days from the date of allotment.

The scheme aims to balance capital appreciation with income generation by maintaining a minimum 25% exposure each in equity and debt, while allowing up to 25% short derivative positions to enhance returns and manage risk. It will be benchmarked against the Nifty 50 Hybrid Composite Debt 50:50 Index and managed by Sandeep Tandon, Lokesh Garg, Ankit Pande, Sameer Kate, and Sanjeev Sharma.

A conservative hybrid long-short strategy aims to lock-in fixed gains from equity arbitrage and fixed income securities as well as capital appreciation from unhedged long & short exposure strategies via extensive usage of derivative instruments within regulatory limits.

The minimum application amount is Rs 10 lakh plus in multiple of Re 1 thereafter. The maximum permissible total expense ratio (TER) is capped at 2.25% under SEBI regulations.
