Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the "Quanti-FI" way of investing? +

The strategy uses a quantitative "Elimination and Basket" approach. It analyzes multiple factors such as Quality, Momentum, Growth, Low Volatility, and Value. By using macro-indicators to adjust the weightage of these factors, the fund seeks to remain style-agnostic and adapt to different market cycles.

2. How does this differ from a traditional fundamental PMS? +

Unlike traditional strategies that rely heavily on fund manager discretion and bottom-up stock picking, Quanti-FI is rules-based. While it uses fundamental data, the final selection and weighting are driven by a mathematical model designed to reduce emotional bias and maintain discipline during market volatility.

3. What role do "Macro-Indicators" play in the strategy? +

The model uses macro-data to shift factor tilts. For example, during periods of rising risk aversion, the model may increase the weight of "Quality" and "Low Volatility" factors. Conversely, in a bullish, risk-on environment, it might tilt toward "Momentum" or "Growth" to capture upside.

4. Is there a performance fee or profit-sharing model? +

ICICI Prudential typically offers two structures for this strategy: Fixed Option: A higher fixed management fee (approx. 2.25%) with no performance sharing. Variable/Hybrid Option: A lower fixed fee plus a performance fee (e.g., 15–20% of profits) usually charged above a hurdle rate of 10%.

5. Who should consider investing in the Quanti-FI Strategy? +

This strategy is suitable for investors looking for a systematic, diversified multi-cap portfolio that does not rely on a single investment style (like pure Value or pure Growth). It is designed for those with a long-term horizon (3+ years) who prefer a disciplined, objective approach to equity investing.
