If long term wealth generation is your goal, remember that remaining invested is the key. It is common among investors to examine the past returns before they start investing into one particular mutual fund scheme. The past returns give an indication of how a scheme is likely to perform in the near future. For instance, an equity scheme which has delivered muted returns in the past may have a huge upside ahead.

Although the past returns do not guarantee future returns of a scheme, they are considered an important consideration for investors. Other important considerations are the reputation of the fund house, past performance of fund managers and the category of mutual fund.

Here, we examine the past performance of Quant Infrastructure Fund which is a sectoral fund launched on September 20, 2007. Its total asset size is ₹3,158 crore. The scheme’s benchmark index is Nifty infrastructure TRI.

Constituent stocks of the scheme are L&T, RIL, Tata Power, ITC, Afcons Infra, Samvardhana Motherson, LIC, Kalyani Steels, Adani Power and ONGC.

The scheme has several fund managers. These are Sandeep Tandon, Ankit Pande, Lokesh Garg, Varun Pattani, Ayusha Kumbhat, Yug Tibrewal, Sameer Kate, Sanjeev Sharma.

Past returns of Quant Infra Fund

As we can see in the table below, if someone had invested ₹10,000 every month via SIP into this scheme, it would have fallen to ₹1.05 lakh by investing a sum of ₹1.2 lakh.

In three years, an investment of ₹3.6 lakh by investing ₹10,000 every month would have grown to ₹4.5 lakh. In five years, a regular SIP of ₹10,000 would have grown to ₹11.78 lakh by investing a sum of ₹6 lakh.

And since inception, if someone were consistent in investing via SIP with a regular inflow of ₹10,000, the total investment would have swelled to ₹90 lakh by investing a total of ₹14.7 lakh over a period of 18 years.
