Choice and Design Allocation and Rebalancing
Construction
Of Variables Constraints Frequencies
Methodology

Even though two Quant Funds may both be value funds, or momentum funds, their portfolios and performance can be very different. Why
two value funds should be different? This is because there are lots of parameters that define a value strategy. For example, some funds
might define value factor as low price to book ratio while others might take a combination of variables like price to book, price to
earnings, EV/EBITDA, dividend yield, etc., to define value factor. The choice of variables a fund manager uses can cause the resulting
portfolios tohave a very different outcome

Risk related to momentum investing

Momentum Crashes
In extreme market environments after a long market downturn, the market prices of past losers embody a very high premium. When

-only strategy, like 360 ONE Quant Fund, the impact of such
momentum crashes can lead to underperformance of the strategy

Tracking Error Risk


A momentum strategy portfolio can be concentrated in few sectors (sectors which have performed well) which can lead high tracking error

General Risk associated with Equity Investment


Investments in the equity shares of the Companies are subject to price fluctuation on daily basis. The volatility n
i the value of equity is due to
various micro and macro economic factors like economic and political developments, changes in interest rates, etc. affecting the securities
markets. This may have adverse impact on individual securities/sector and consequently on the NAV of Scheme
