India’s Quant MF launches innovative SMID long‑short fund amid rally hopes
Quant MF debuts SMID long‑short fund in India as investors seek growth beyond large‑caps.
India’s Quant Mutual Fund has launched a new SMID (small‑and‑mid‑cap) long‑short strategy fund with its NFO closing on November 7, 2025.
The fund aims to bridge a gap by combining small‑cap upside with hedge‑style risk management, an offering previously uncommon in the Indian market. The move comes as the domestic rally broadens and investors seek differentiated exposures beyond large‑cap stocks.
Analysts note such long‑short structures could mitigate volatility while tapping growth, but also warn of higher fees and execution risk.
