Markets regulator Sebi investigated a suspected case of front-running in Rs 93,000 crore Quant Mutual Fund.

During raids on Quant’s Mumbai headquarters and Hyderabad premises, Sebi seized mobile phones, computers, and other digital devices. This move was a part of an effort to trace the source of leaked confidential information allegedly used for illicit profit. Sebi suspects that the front-running may involve a dealer from a Quant entity or a broking firm through which the asset management company places orders.

The hand of either a dealer from a Quant entity or a broking firm through which the AMC places order was being suspected in the case.
