Frequently asked questions
Which has a higher 3-year return, quant Quantamental Fund or Taurus Ethical Fund?
quant Quantamental Fund's 3-year rolling CAGR of 23.5% is higher than Taurus Ethical Fund's 15.5%. quant Quantamental Fund sits in the 92nd percentile of its category on this metric, versus the 33rd percentile for Taurus Ethical 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, quant Quantamental Fund or Taurus Ethical Fund?
Taurus Ethical Fund's direct-plan expense ratio is 0.27 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, quant Quantamental Fund or Taurus Ethical Fund?
By standard deviation (a measure of how much a fund's returns swing around its own average), quant Quantamental Fund has been more volatile than Taurus Ethical 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 (0.32 for quant Quantamental Fund vs -0.02 for Taurus Ethical 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, quant Quantamental Fund or Taurus Ethical Fund?
quant Quantamental Fund has ₹1,500 Cr in assets under management, versus ₹422 Cr for Taurus Ethical 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, quant Quantamental Fund or Taurus Ethical Fund?
Taurus Ethical Fund launched on 2009-02-19, 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.
