Quantum Mutual Fund has taken to X (formerly Twitter) to clarify its distinct identity from Quant Mutual Fund amid the latter’s ongoing Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) inquiry and allegations of front-running.

What Happened: On Thursday morning, Quantum Mutual Fund released a tweet to clarify that it is a separate entity from Quant Mutual Fund. Quantum MF also mentioned a pending lawsuit against Quant MF in the Mumbai High Court over the use of a similar trade name, which has reportedly caused confusion.

“We have issued multiple clarifications to investors, distributors and brokers on the confusion caused by the use of a similar sounding name by another mutual fund house – which was launched 12 years after we launched Quantum Mutual Fund,” the fund house added in the statement.
