Quant Mutual Fund is pivoting away from manufacturing due to rising cost pressures and supply chain issues. Instead, it's channeling investments into IT services, viewing this sector as overlooked and ripe for growth. The fund focuses on identifying undervalued and under-owned stocks across diverse sectors for maximum returns. Quant foresees consolidation trends within large-cap markets, which could lead to selective opportunities.
