PMS Rating

IME PMS Rating

AMC does not meet our selection criteria at this time

Not a recommended AMC: Itus PMS is still relatively new, and its founder is still in the process of developing his longer-term investment track record. Limited publicly available disclosures on portfolio composition & annual performance, make it difficult to understand strategy adherence and the levels of risk being taken.

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.

PMS Investment Philosophy

Itus PMS follows a focussed investment approach that has a mix of deep value, growth and special situations.

The focus is on investing in under-researched companies that may be undiscovered by larger institutional players. The strategy follows a top-down and a bottom-up approach.

Out of 5000 listed companies on the exchange Itus finds the opportunity in ther under-researched companies that might not be covered in most funds

Investment Approach 

  1. Macro Analysis– Using a Top-Down Analysis to create a list of preferred sector (if any) to overweight, guide sector specific weighting and gross exposures; and generate set of assumptions (if any) for bottom up analysis. 
  2. Thematic Analysis– Idenify themes at an early stage; anlyse of they are longer term and sustainable; perform independent research and working on if they are investable.
  3. Bottom-up Analysis– Perform research and fundamental analysis of the company and its growth cycle; invest with a margin of safety where upside on growth is not priced; look for company having an advantage in terms of brand, network effect, operate leverage or growth
  4. Portfolio Constructions & Risk– Work on Sector-level and company level exposure limits
