2 Have you heard about us? Probably not! Because we prefer our investors to buy into our products and trust the way we manage money, rather than push our products to them through mass media campaigns. Nor do we talk, about our star fund managers. So we re not surprised that you don t know about us. In fact that gives us hope! We are Quantum Mutual Fund Set up in 2006, we are a fund house that chose a different path- we chose to go directly to people who wanted a low cost way to manage their long term investments. Quantum Mutual Fund is directed by a set of values that we treasure as the Quantum Philosophy: Long Term Approach We believe that investing is actually about watching your hard earned savings grow into wealth over the long term. Our research methodology and investment approach reflect this long term vision in practice. Simple Products We don t understand the New Fund Offer frenzy! That s the reason why we have launched only 8 basic funds till date. Our product portfolio aims to help you spread your investments across Equity, Debt and Gold. Sectorial and Thematic funds make very little sense to us, and we have stayed away from launching such products. No Star Fund Manager Quantum Mutual Fund believes in a team approach. We follow a process for selecting or avoiding stocks, and as such, the concept of Star Fund Managers, does not appeal to us. Our fund managers work along with our research team to ensure that come what may your portfolio is never compromised. Low Cost The chief benefit of investing with a direct to investor mutual fund is lowered costs, since you as an investor save on distribution expenses. We also have added to your cost savings by offering you one of the lowest Expense Ratios in the industry. We are a Low Cost fund that works to add value to your investments! Set up in 2006, Quantum Mutual Fund is a fund house that chose a different path we chose to go directly to people who wanted a low cost way to manage their long term investments. We thus chose to cut costs, and give our investors a transparent and unbiased system of deciding which fund they should invest in. Quantum Mutual Fund was launched as the country s 1 st and only direct to investor mutual fund. What do we have to offer? Along with professional fund management experience, and the benefits of investing in mutual fund, we offer investors a simple array of products that they could use to build their portfolio. We have eight basic funds that are spread across Equity, Gold and Debt to help diversify investments.

3 OUR PRODUCTS Quantum Long Term Equity Fund (An open ended Equity scheme) Our flagship fund aims to give investors an equity exposure (higher return-higher risk). As an open-ended equity diversified fund, the Quantum Long Term Equity Fund looks at generating long term capital appreciation by investing primarily in shares of large and mid-cap companies that will typically be included in the BSE 200 Index and are in a position to benefit from the anticipated growth and development of the Indian economy and its market. Quantum Tax saving Fund (An equity Linked Saving Scheme with 3years lock-in period) Our Equity Linked savings scheme helps investors plan their taxes better. Along with deductions under sec 80C of the Income Tax Act, the fund also gives investors equity exposure. Historical analysis shows that equities have the potential to earn higher returns (with higher risk) as compared to other asset classes over a long period of time. Quantum Liquid Fund (An open ended Liquid Scheme) Our Liquid Fund ensures that investor s money is not left idle. Hence, rather than leave their surplus cash at home or in a locker, they could entrust it to a liquid fund that is meant to provide optimal returns with low to moderate levels of risk and high liquidity through judicious investments in money market and debt instruments.

It also meant for investors, who would like to have Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) for investing in Gold. Investors can invest in the Quantum Gold Savings Fund like any of our other Non ETF products, and the Quantum Gold Saving Fund in turn will invest in the Quantum Gold ETF.
