PMSIME's View on Renaissance India PMS
AMC View
While Renniassance India PMS has a fund manager with a strong track record, it is still young and sub-scale, possibly due to a focus on AIF's. We prefer to wait for the PMS platform to mature before recommending investments.
AMC Pedigree
Renaissance India PMS, founded by a respected fund manager, is a young firm that has not fully scaled its PMS business, potentially due to a focus on the AIF platform. Founded by Pankaj Murarka, the firm launched its PMS in January 2018. It has since grown into a diversified platform with multiple strategies across market caps—Large Cap (ROP), Flexi Cap (RINP), and Mid Cap (RMP).
Team Pedigree
AMC is led by Pankaj Murarka, who brings over two decades of experience in Indian equity markets. Prior to founding Renaissance, he held CIO-level roles at Axis Mutual Fund and senior positions at UTI AMC, Rare Enterprises (Rakesh Jhunjhunwala), and Merrill Lynch. His track record in institutional asset management lends credibility and process maturity to the PMS offering.
Investment Philosophy
Renaissance adopts a blend of quality and growth investing across its strategies. It seeks businesses at different stages of their lifecycle, combining strong fundamentals with improving business momentum. Portfolio construction emphasizes concentration (20–25 stocks), risk-adjusted returns, and a balance between top-down macro insights and bottom-up stock selection.
