PMS Rating

IME PMS Rating

3 of 5 stars

Not a top recommendation as it is still a young AMC at this time : While there are positives to Avestha PMS (a seasoned core investment team, long-term investment approach), we would rather wait for the PMS to mature prior to recommending it as an investment option. This is primarily driven by factors such as the team's core experience being different from that of running concentrated mandates, the short-age of the PMS strategies, a lack of publicly disclosed portfolios and a high initial ticket size (2cr+) for a PMS that is still to establish its longer-term credentials.

The PMS/AIF AMC Rating is derived on the basis of our analysis on 5 key qualitative parameters that we use to analyse the quality of a PMS/AIF Provider. These include an assessment of the size of the AMC, the pedigree of the AMC, the pedigree of the team, the value of the investment philosophy & the level of differentiation. These insights of our central research team are documented in the IME RMS, and can be accessed during a consultation call with an IME PMS specialist.
