Quant Mutual Fund's fifth SIF strategy and India's first Sector Rotation Long-Short Fund — a brand-new SIF category. The strategy concentrates 80–100% of equity in up to four high-potential sectors (chosen from 12 candidates) with limited short overlay via derivatives. Accredited investors qualify at a reduced ₹1,00,000 minimum.
A new SIF category — Sector Rotation Long-Short
Existing Indian SIFs to date have been diversified equity, hybrid or multi-asset long-short structures. qSIF Sector Rotation introduces sector concentration as its core thesis: pick the 4 highest-potential sectors from a 12-sector universe, take long positions, and use derivatives to hedge sector-specific downside or express bearish sector views. There are no direct peers in this category — every other SIF in the market is broadly diversified or cap-based.
Investment objective
To achieve long-term capital appreciation by concentrating investments in equity and equity-related instruments of up to four high-potential sectors, while employing limited short exposure through derivatives to capitalize on sector-specific downturns and enhance risk-adjusted returns.
Strategy & allocation
qSIF Sector Rotation is a concentrated sector-rotation strategy: the manager selects up to 4 sectors out of a 12-sector universe spanning Commodities, Financial Services, IT, Diversified, Services, Energy, Healthcare, Industrials, Consumer Discretionary, FMCG, Telecommunication and Utilities. The 80–100% equity allocation sits inside those 4 sectors at any time.
A limited short overlay via derivatives targets sector-specific downturns to enhance risk-adjusted returns. Cumulative gross exposure (longs + shorts + debt + derivatives) is capped at 100% of net assets per SEBI's SIF framework (27 February 2025).
The 12-sector universe — pick 4
The fund manager rotates between any 4 of these 12 candidate sectors at a time, based on Quant MF's VLRT framework (Valuation, Liquidity, Risk, Time).
