Frequently asked questions

Which has a higher 3-year return, Franklin India Technology Fund or quant Quantamental Fund?

quant Quantamental Fund's 3-year rolling CAGR of 23.5% is higher than Franklin India Technology Fund's 17.8%. quant Quantamental Fund sits in the 92nd percentile of its category on this metric, versus the 57th percentile for Franklin India Technology Fund - though note both funds may belong to different categories with different medians, so a raw CAGR comparison doesn't account for how each fund performed relative to its own peers. A higher historical return also doesn't necessarily mean lower risk; check the risk metrics below before concluding either fund is the "better" choice.

Which has a lower expense ratio, Franklin India Technology Fund or quant Quantamental Fund?

Franklin India Technology Fund's direct-plan expense ratio is 0.46 percentage points lower than quant Quantamental Fund's. Over long holding periods, a persistent expense-ratio gap compounds into a materially different final corpus even if the two funds' gross returns are similar - it's one of the few fund attributes you can compare with total certainty upfront, unlike future returns, since the fee is contractually fixed rather than a historical estimate.

Which fund carries more risk, Franklin India Technology Fund or quant Quantamental Fund?

By standard deviation (a measure of how much a fund's returns swing around its own average), Franklin India Technology Fund has been more volatile than quant Quantamental Fund over the trailing window. Standard deviation captures total volatility in both directions - up and down - so a higher figure means bigger swings generally, not necessarily bigger losses specifically. Sharpe ratio (0.15 for Franklin India Technology Fund vs 0.32 for quant Quantamental Fund) is a better single measure of risk-adjusted return, since it weighs the return earned per unit of volatility taken rather than volatility alone.

Which has higher AUM, Franklin India Technology Fund or quant Quantamental Fund?

Franklin India Technology Fund has ₹1,738 Cr in assets under management, versus ₹1,500 Cr for quant Quantamental Fund. A larger AUM generally means deeper liquidity and lower per-unit fixed costs for the AMC to spread across investors, but an AUM that's very large relative to a fund's category and strategy (especially in small/mid cap categories, where the investable universe is smaller) can also make it harder for a manager to enter and exit positions without moving the price - bigger isn't automatically better, especially for less liquid categories.

Which fund has a longer track record, Franklin India Technology Fund or quant Quantamental Fund?

Franklin India Technology Fund launched on 1998-08-22, making it older than quant Quantamental Fund (launched 2021-04-13). A longer track record means more real market cycles (bull runs, corrections, rate cycles) the fund has actually navigated, which is useful context for judging consistency - but it isn't a guarantee of future performance, and a newer fund isn't automatically worse, especially if it's run by an experienced manager or team with a track record at a prior fund.
