Broad area Performance of AI Powered Mutual Fund: A case study of Tata QUANT Fund
Abstract As quant trading continues to reshape India’s mutual funds landscape, it’s crucial for investors and fund managers to adapt to new paradigms and stay informed about industry trends. This study is undertaken as a systematic investigation into the performance of the first AI-powered mutual fund in India, Tata QUANT fund. Moreover, this study offers a critical analysis of the theoretical foundation for AI-driven portfolio management, incorporating ideas from the literature on behavioural economics and finance. This research provides important insights into the constraints and usefulness of AI-driven funds in a developing economy environment by addressing concerns about the marginal predictive capability of AI approaches and their ability to achieve optimal trade-offs amidst transaction costs. Though there have been many funds based on quantitative algorithms, Tata QUANT is the only fund that is on AI and it has a performance history of only three years. It is seen from the analysis that though the quant funds have been performing quite well, the Tata Quant has not been able to beat the market yet. The fund has high volatility with poor risk adjusted return. But as the legal and regulatory landscape is opening up to the AI, it is expected that even this fund will perform in the long run. To conclude, quant funds definitely have a great future when technology as well as Indian capital markets develop and mature.
