Tata Quant Fund is the rule-based investment strategy that enables the passive selection of securities. On the basis of the machine learning algorithm, the Tata Quant Fund model creates the portfolio according to the emerging market scenarios.

The model act on changes that occur in:

• Broad and persistent factors driven by equity returns
• Historic portfolio momentum
• Pre-decided economic and market parameters.

This advanced technology tool and machine learning would make use of historical correlations and patterns for assessing the impact of new economic and market conditions on portfolio returns.

Tata Quant Fund has a multi-factor investment model created using the advanced AI modules. On the basis of the market conditions, these modules change factor strategies dynamically every month.

What makes the Tata quant fund model different from other managed funds is the efficient use of the machine learning algorithm for driving the best investment strategies.

The Tata Quant Fund would use the proven factor strategies like value, quality, momentum, and market-cap for rule-based stock selection and portfolio allocation. Also, the fund would invest in a portfolio of stocks selected from the BSE 200 and Equity Derivative List.

Since the Tata Quant Funds modules are designed using the AI technology and Machine Learning, the machines are equipped to take the market calls as well.

TATA Quant Fund Process

The Tata Quant Fund is the mutual fund scheme that is used to construct a diversified portfolio across market capitalization and sectors. It includes the benefits of both active and rule-based systematic investments thus minimizing the influence of human emotions in taking an investment decision.

Here is the complete Tata Quant Fund Process explained in detail:

• Predicts the Optimal Strategy of Forthcoming Month & Profile Creation
  • Every month for the past 20+ years each stock of BSE 200 is scored and selected on the basis of various factor models like value, quality, value+quality, momentum, value+momentum, and market cap.
  • The score is used to know the 1-year data of the individual stocks under the defined variables.
  • The top-scoring stocks are created for each factor to create a portfolio.
  • For the above set portfolios, the machine is provided with the 20 plus year of macroeconomic, key market-related data and the data of monthly returns.
  • The machine learning algorithms analyze the hidden correlation and patterns of the historic data to identify portfolios with the highest returns.
  • Each month the ML embedded investment strategy framework takes in:
    • The latest available macroeconomic and key market-related data.
    • Historic momentum values of each factor model portfolios
    • On the basis of machine learning, it decides the factor strategy that will perform the best in the forthcoming month.
    • On identification and creation of the optimal factor strategy, the next process is to predict the direction of return for the next 30 days.
• Market Direction Prediction
  • The second algorithm is to predict the direction in either direction of portfolio returns.
  • The technology and AI-based predictive engine predict the 30 days direction of portfolio returns based on similar variables as defined in the previous model.
• Strategy Execution for Forthcoming Month
  • On turning of predictions to bearish, the model recommends taking the market position that further reduces the net long equity position to zero. All this is done using derivative to hedge the portfolio that is held for long.
  • When the prediction turns bullish, the portfolio created is used to rebalance or create a cash long position in identified stocks
