Investors' perceptions about investments have been changing, especially among young retail investors. These investors prefer greater control over their investments, and they want to be able to build their own portfolio and 'be their own fund manager'. They adopt a "core and satellite" portfolio strategy and are interested in taking exposure to equities – preferably a portfolio comprising of large-cap companies to build the core of their portfolio and augment them with sector specific / thematic funds to form their satellite portfolio.

At the same time, these investors also want the convenience and flexibility of SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) investments. These investors have been increasingly preferring index funds. Quantum believes that despite changing market preferences, asset allocation is fundamental to any long-term successful investing. As an "investor first" fund house, we want to provide investors with building blocks, active and passive, to be able to build their asset allocation framework.

Chirag Mehta, CIO- Quantum Mutual Fund further added, "Investors can build their investment portfolio by adopting a passive approach in Quantum's DIY 12-20-80 Asset Allocation Strategy. This strategy has the potential to minimize downside risks and achieve your long-term goals. As per this strategy investors dedicate money worth 12 months of their expenses in a liquid fund and 20 per cent of your investable money to gold, the rest 80% can be allocated to equity. Investors can allocate 85 per cent of their equity investments to Quantum Nifty 50 ETF Fund of Fund, while the rest 15% can be allocated to Quantum India ESG Equity Fund."
