Quant Mutual Fund Focuses on Large Caps and Raises Stakes in Banks and Insurance

Quant Mutual Fund has reaffirmed its position in large-cap equities while increasing its exposure across private sector banks and insurance companies.  

The fund house has also added select mid and smallcap stocks to equity and hybrid schemes, aligning with liquidity and macroeconomic signals. 

Large-Cap Preference with Strategic Sectoral Allocations 

Quant Mutual Fund stated in its latest portfolio update that it continues to favour large-cap stocks. The fund has increased holdings in private banks and insurance firms, supported by the Reserve Bank of India’s monetary policy and stronger liquidity across markets.  

This approach underlines a risk-managed investment strategy focused on established companies across the banking and insurance sectors. 

Mid and Smallcap Exposure Sees Uptick 

While the focus stays on large-cap companies, Quant Mutual Fund has selectively increased mid and smallcap holdings. This expansion is reflected across multiple equity and hybrid schemes.  

The fund has highlighted liquidity availability and steady macroeconomic indicators as important contributors to this decision. The organisation considers these exposures complementary to its base allocations.

Sector Focus Includes NBFCs, Infrastructure and Consumption 

Beyond banks and insurers, Quant Mutual Fund maintains holdings in infrastructure, NBFCs, telecom, pharmaceuticals, and consumption-based stocks. The fund believes these sectors remain aligned with evolving economic conditions and stable interest rates.  

With the repo rate reduced by 25 basis points and the RBI reinforcing banking system liquidity, these sectors are seen as well-positioned. 

Currency and Policy Factors Considered 

According to Quant Mutual Fund, the weakening of the US dollar by 9.4% and persistent CPI levels above the Federal Reserve’s target have shaped global capital movement.  

Domestically, the fund views the RBI governor’s statement on sustained low interest rates as a noteworthy event that may not have received appropriate market attention. 

Conclusion 

Quant Mutual Fund continues to favour large-cap allocations while broadening exposure to private banks, insurance companies, and select mid and small-cap stocks. Sectoral interests also include infrastructure and NBFCs, considering macroeconomic stability and liquidity support as key influences on asset selection and allocation.
