3. If we are so focused on being a “low-cost” mutual fund house, working to help investors, Why do we not amplify the Index Fund?

4. It’s not because we don’t want you to have low-cost solutions; it’s because we believe the evolving Indian stock markets allow investors to potentially make higher returns for lower risk with low-cost actively managed funds Mutual Fund = Returns – Cost; for equivalent risk

13. Active vs Passive: A Short Primer Active Investing Passive Investing Portfolio Created by AMC’s investment team based on research – Quality of research? Deep oversight. Portfolio Created by Benchmark creators based on liquidity, market capitalization (no oversight by Regulators) Expenses Cost of Research & Investment team, High distribution costs in Regular Plans Expenses Usually low cost as no need of research team, no distribution costs Risks Zero flexibility in managing portfolio, have to own stocks irrespective of view on business and corporate governance Risks Exposed to Performance Risk, Style risk of chosen fund Eg: Quantum Long Term Equity Value Fund Eg: Quantum Nifty Exchange Traded Fund

15. What did John Bogle Think of Passive Investing in India? What has changed since then? Ajit’s Email to John Bogle, Founder of Vanguard, February 2010 While we have an ETF, we believe more in the actively managed style (we are value investors). This is because the indices in India are still immature and evolving. Typically, the index creators change between 10% and 20% of the stocks in an Index in any given year. The “losers” are taken out and the “surging stocks” are counted in. Of course, there is no transaction cost for such a move! But, if an ETF was to mirror this (and we have one, but with a 15 month track record), the real cost of mirroring the changes in the Index would lead to huge tracking errors over time. John Bogle’s response, Feb 2010 Hi, Ajit, I'm so sorry that I can't meet you. I'll be travelling all next week. For all the reasons I've expressed over the decades, I strongly prefer classic indexing over active management, even over "value" investing. But the indexing strategy you describe in India sounds just plain foolish. Good luck in your work! Best, Jack B

18. Passive Investing – Has Quantum Changed its View Over the Last 13 Years? Passive Investing may not be the way to go at the moment Given the poorly constructed Indices, active management has an important role to play in an investors portfolio But its time will come As Index construction matures and market efficiency improves, outperformance by “active managers” will be difficult - Indexing will be the preferred way of investing When we believe Indexing is the way to go and “active management” has failed, we will be the first to let you know! We have the product ready – since 2008!
