Quantum Value Fund - Direct Plan Growth Option

Quantum Value Fund - Direct Plan Growth Option ranks among the stronger performers in the Gold category, backed by a 4-star rating. Consistent 3-year performance combined with a strong rating makes this one of the more credible options in its space. TopFund's composite Health Score, which weighs rating, 3-year CAGR, expense ratio and fund size, puts it at 87/100.

Cost: At 0.06%, the expense ratio is meaningfully cheaper — about 60% below the Gold category average of 0.15% (based on 182 comparable funds). Lower costs compound in your favour over long holding periods.
