To update the forum readers about how this long term investing algorithm has performed after the launch, I thought I should share an image of the relative performance between the NIFTY, Birla sun life MNC fund and the algo since the day it went live:

From Jun 1 2016 till 3 Apr 2017 the quant portfolio is up 28%, the NIFTY is up 13%, and the Birla Sun Life MNC Fund is up 8%.
Would love to hear comments of the group on whether you believe the quant methods will survive the test of time.
