Now, some of the risks involved:
☐ The risk involved is high since it mostly deals with equities (100 – 95% Quantum nifty equity and 0-5% of Government securities & T.bill Maturity up to 91 days, Tri-party repo and liquid schemes of mutual funds).
☐ It is a long-term investment-focused fund so there might be some near-term consolidation.

☐ Beta: 0.99
☐ Sharpe Ratio: 0.44
☐ Treynor’s Ratio: 0.08
