I have been investing in Quant Active, Quant Small Cap, Quant Momentum, and Quant Flexi Cap funds, via SIPs, since last year. My investment horizon is over 10 years. The funds’ performance has slipped over the past two quarters (over the second half of 2024). Should I continue my SIPs or stop and remain invested for another year? Sumit Duseja, Co-founder & CEO, Truemind Capital (Sebi-registered investment adviser: Quant mutual fund schemes mostly operate on a momentum strategy. The major problem with the momentum strategy is that when it works, the returns are way above the benchmark, but when it doesn’t work, the returns plummet sharply. Therefore, the performance is good only during specific periods of bull market, resulting in inconsistent performance, accompanied by high volatility. Ideally, one should select schemes with consistent performance track records across bull and bear markets. The investment philosophy of the fund house should be simple, clear and transparent. Additionally, you should diversify across mutual fund schemes from different fund houses. Selecting all the schemes from a single fund house puts you at risk with all your schemes underperforming if something goes wrong with the fund house. You can stop your SIPs in the schemes from Quant and restart the SIPs with fund houses that have a proven and consistent track record of at least 15 years.

Tesla owner in Pennsylvania got the shock of his life when he reviewed footage from his car’s built-in cameras—what he saw left him furious. The video showed a man casually stepping out of a silver Lexus in the parking lot of a Planet Fitness gym in Doylestown Borough. He crouched beside the Tesla, took out an object, and began scratching a symbol into the car’s paint. The act lasted mere seconds, but its impact was far more lasting. The symbol? A swastika. The suspect, later identified as 55-year-old Chadd Ritenbaugh, seemed to believe he could get away with his mischief unnoticed. He quickly stashed his tool, stood up, and walked into the gym as if nothing had happened. But he forgot one crucial detail—Tesla vehicles don’t just sit silently. Their sophisticated surveillance system records everything. Hours later, when the Tesla owner arrived home and checked the footage, the disturbing truth was right there on the screen.

Jimmy Patronis won a special election Tuesday in Florida's 1st Congressional District, bolstered by President Donald Trump's endorsement to fill a vacant seat in reliably Republican northern Florida and despite national Democrats pouring millions into the race. Patronis, the state's chief financial officer, fended off a challenge from Democrat Gay Valimont even though she far outraised and outspent him. He will fill the northwest Florida seat vacated by former Rep. Matt Gaetz, who was chosen to be Trump's attorney general but withdrew from consideration amid allegations of sexual misconduct, which he has denied. Valimont benefited from the outrage of national donors alarmed by the early months of Trump's second term but was ultimately not able to pull off what would have been a massive upset in a district both Trump and Gaetz won by more than 30 points last year. The mood was celebratory at a waterfront restaurant in Pensacola, where congratulatory text messages were already lighting up Patronis' phone as early results were posted Tuesday night. Patronis worked the crowd of about 100 people shaking hands and giving hugs, his wife Katie and two sons in tow. In Florida's 6th Congressional District, Republican state Sen.
