QRC PMS

PMS Rating

IME PMS Rating

AMC does not meet our selection criteria at this time

Not a Recommended AMC: While QRC Investment Advisors PMS does clearly have an investment team with a high degree of pedigree, they have remained sub-scale despite having been incorporated in 2017. We are unclear if this is because of a focus on other lines of business (relative to the PMS), since a team of this pedigree should ideally have scaled their PMS business further. We would wait for the domestic PMS business to scale prior to upgrading our ratings.

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.
