Quantum Advisors Shifts Focus: Boosts IT, Cuts Metals & Autos on Valuation

• Quantum Advisors, led by Nilesh Shetty, is rebalancing its portfolio for 2026, focusing on a selective market approach.
• Increased exposure to IT by 300-400 basis points, targeting large-cap stocks, citing AI training benefits and lower valuations.
• Raised allocations in top-tier private sector banks due to valuation comfort, while exiting select NBFCs and cautious on PSU banks.
• Reduced holdings in metals, autos (two-wheelers), and engineering (railways, defence) due to elevated valuations post-rallies.
• Shetty expects FII outflow reversal and continued cyclical performance, despite India lagging other emerging markets in 2025.

Why It Matters: Quantum Advisors rebalances portfolio, favoring IT and private banks while trimming overvalued sectors like metals and autos.
