There are many mutual funds that have something interesting about them, either by way of their investment objective or just because of their performance. This is not exactly a category, but the performance of some select funds because of their unique traits. One could invest in them, if they like the idea or the philosophy.
Quantum Long Term Equity
Much before direct plans came into existence, Quantum AMC started offering funds only through the direct route. The experiment paid off because the AMC managed to keep the fund’s expense ratio to the minimum. This fund has consistently done well since its launch in 2006.
