Mutual Fund Research powered by Q Square Analysis
(A 360-degree quantitative and qualitative analysis of mutual fund schemes to help you choose the right fund.)
Our Philosophy -
The MF research team at Mirae Asset Sharekhan follows a comprehensive approach of looking at the Quantitative and Qualitative parameters of funds to
ensure you receive quality recommendations.
Q Square Analysis -
Quality powered by Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis
The in-house Mirae Asset Sharekhan Mutual Fund research emphasises on an in-depth understanding of Equity-Oriented Mutual Funds, taking into account
the qualitative and Quantitative parameters. We accomplish this through three stages:
1. Filtering - In this first stage, we select only those fund houses which satisfy our criteria for due diligence. The due diligence process helps us understand
an AMC’s investment process, investment strategy and gives us confidence before we add any fund to our recommendations.
2. Qualitative Analysis - We identify funds with reasonable market share within its category and a consistent track record of at least 3 years.
3. Quantitative Analysis - We take into account the return and risk parameters of a fund on an absolute and relative basis to its category peers.
o Risk - We assess the fund’s consistency and volatility to capture the risk and,
o Returns - We analyse scheme’s performance over long & short term horizons using our internal methodology.
Finally, the top funds are shortlisted in select categories (for example large-cap funds, mid-cap funds, etc) on a weighted score basis, taking into account the
above mentioned parameters.
Maintaining Q Square Quality - There is a set review mechanism in place, which is done on a monthly basis.
