Purnartha PMS

IME Rating

IME PMS Rating

3 of 5 stars

Established in 2011 as a RIA, Purnartha has a strong research background and stock selection. Despite being new in PMS and AIF offerings launched in 2020, the AMC and team have a good pedigree. Their research is skilled in identifying quality ideas, but the high level of concentration makes it more suitable for higher-risk investors.

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.
