Dalal & Broacha PMS

PMS Rating

IME PMS Rating

3 of 5 stars

Not a top recommendation due to lack of differentiation : While we like the broking heritage of the Dalal & Broacha group and the long tenure of their PMS Head, a lack of a clearly defined investment philosophy and weak differentiation makes us prefer other PMS providers.

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.
