The disclosure has no Long/Short column in the holdings table; side is DERIVED from the sign of '% to NAV' (negative = SHORT, positive = LONG) on each printed line. Short futures are confirmed independently by the sheet's 'Hedging Positions through Futures' table, which prints an explicit Long/Short flag per underlying. Note: negative lines under OTHERS / '(d) Other Receivables (Payables)' are accounting balances, not short positions, but are labelled SHORT by the same sign rule. disclosedSleeveLabels keys use the AMC's printed headers; sub-section rows are keyed '<MAJOR SECTION> / <printed sub-header>' to disambiguate repeated (a)/(b)/(c) letters. Percentages are reproduced at the file's own precision. Grand Total as printed: 100.0% of NAV / Rs. 41998.92 Lakhs. Verified: every row's '% to NAV' sums exactly to the printed Sub Total of its section. Stated exposure lines, quoted from the file: Total %age of existing assets hedged through futures 15.28; Total Exposure due to futures (non hedging positions) as a %age of net assets; Total %age of existing assets hedged through put options NIL; Total Exposure through options as a %age of net assets NIL; Total outstanding exposure in derivatives instruments as on 31-Jul-2026 is -15.28%.

Normalised from the AMC's published portfolio statement. Derivative market value, notional exposure and regulatory gross exposure can be measured on different bases, so the AMC's own statement remains controlling. Holdings are historical and change without notice — this is not a recommendation to buy or sell any security.

How the fund actually invests

The strategy invests at least 65% of assets in equity and equity-related instruments of companies outside India's top 100 by market capitalisation, and may run unhedged short exposure of up to 25% through derivatives.

Where the money goes. Under normal circumstances the ISID sets 65-100% of total assets in equity and equity-related instruments of companies excluding the top 100 by market capitalisation, 0-35% in equity of top-100 companies, 0-35% in debt and money market instruments, and 0-20% in REITs and InvITs. Source: ISID Part II.A, https://www.qsif.com/Admin/SIDPdf/ISID_qsif_Equity_Ex-Top_100_Long-Short_Fund.pdf

The short book is capped at a quarter of the portfolio. The ISID's indicative exposure table permits derivatives for non-hedging and non-rebalancing purposes of up to 50% long and unhedged short exposure of up to 25%. Beyond that cap, additional derivative exposure is permitted only for full hedging of the long portfolio and for rebalancing, and cumulative gross exposure across equity, debt, derivatives, repo and REITs/InvITs must not exceed 100% of net assets. Source: ISID Part II.A.

Open-ended, not interval. Unlike the qSIF Hybrid and Active Asset Allocator strategies, this one is open-ended: units may be purchased or redeemed on all Business Days at NAV-based prices, and the units are not proposed to be listed on any stock exchange. Redemption proceeds are dispatched within three working days of a valid request under normal circumstances. Source: ISID Section I Part I, items VI, VIII and IX.

Entry threshold is the SEBI SIF floor. Minimum investment is Rs 10,00,000 both during the NFO and on a continuous basis, in multiples of Re 1, with a Rs 1,00,000 minimum for accredited investors. Minimum additional purchase is Rs 10,000 and minimum redemption or switch-out is Rs 1,000. SIP, SWP and STP are each Rs 10,000 with a minimum of six instalments. Source: ISID Section I Part I, items XIV-XVI.

The short-derivative toolkit is disclosed up front. The ISID lists the tentative short strategies to be deployed with a stated risk level for each: short futures, synthetic short, long put, bear put spread, short call, bear call spread, long put butterfly and long put calendar. Short futures, synthetic short and short call are each flagged as carrying theoretically unlimited loss. Source: ISID Part II.C, 'What is the investment approach?'.

Documents & source files

Everything on this page traces back to a document Quant published. Here they are, so you can read the primary source yourself rather than take our word for it.

When new documents appear. AMCs publish the previous month's factsheet and portfolio disclosure in the first week or so of each month — so from around the 8th you can generally expect the prior month-end file. Our desk re-checks every AMC on that cycle and updates the holdings and figures on this page. Links point to the AMC's own site, so you always land on their current file, not a stale copy of ours.

Every Equity Ex-Top 100 Long-Short SIF we track

All Equity Ex-Top 100 Long-Short funds we track, with their latest NAV, trailing returns, size and risk level. This fund is highlighted. Click a column heading to sort the table; the # column then shows each fund's position on that column. It is arithmetic on the period you chose, not a rating or a recommendation. Most SIFs are young, so check each fund's age before comparing. Open any fund's page from its name, or use the compare tool for a side-by-side view.

What an Equity Ex-Top 100 Long-Short SIF actually does

Holds at least 65% in stocks ranked outside the top 100 by market capitalisation — a mid- and small-cap tilt — with unhedged short exposure of up to 25% of net assets.

Every Specialized Investment Fund sits between mutual funds and PMS: a ₹10 lakh minimum (aggregated per PAN per AMC), SEBI's Chapter VI-C framework, and mutual-fund-grade taxation — equity-oriented strategies attract 12.5% LTCG after 12 months. Learn the mechanics on our What is a SIF page, or read the August 2026 Coverage Report.

On sourcing. The scheme facts on this page are taken from the AMC's own Scheme Information Document, Investment Strategy Information Document and Key Information Memorandum, with the source linked above. The live NAV comes from AMFI; AUM and risk level from Value Research; the expense ratio from AMFI. Where a detail is not disclosed by the AMC we say so rather than estimate it — we never guess a number.
