Right Horizons PMS
PMSIME's View on Right Horizons PMS
AMC View
Right Horizons has achieved notable growth and scale, and can now be considered; however, we remain cautious given the high volatility in its annual performance.
AMC Pedigree
Right Horizons has grown and improved its strategies, but it is not as reputable as other established PMS firms.
Team Pedigree
Anil Rego has gained investment experience at Right Horizons despite lacking prior experience, and the team has been bolstered by the addition of Piyush Sharma, an experienced investments professional.
Investment Philosophy
Right Horizons PMS does not have a PMS-level investment philosophy; strategies are defined at a scheme level.
PMS Background
Right Horizons PMS was launched in 2015 as the asset management arm of Right Horizons Wealth Management, a Bengaluru-based investment advisory group with over ₹1,000 crore in assets under advice. The fund management team brings over 40 years of cumulative experience across equity research and investing. Despite reasonable scale at the group level, the PMS platform is still in the process of establishing long-term credibility, with historical performance marked by relatively high volatility.
PMS Investment Philosophy
Right Horizons PMS seeks to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns through a structured investment process that combines fundamental analysis, quantitative screening, and explicit risk management frameworks. Stock selection follows a bottom-up approach with emphasis on scalability, sustainability, promoter alignment, and value creation.
Core Stock Selection Pillars
- Market Size: Preference for businesses operating in large and expanding opportunity sets
- Sustainable Growth: Focus on consistency and durability of earnings rather than cyclical spikes
- Promoter Alignment: Importance given to promoter stake and alignment of interests
- Value Creation: Assessment of return ratios and long-term capital efficiency
Investment Process & Risk Framework
- RH Screener: Quantitative screening of ~1,300 companies based on ROE, ROCE, PAT growth, promoter holding and related metrics
- RH Scorecard: Proprietary evaluation framework incorporating valuation metrics, return ratios, forensic filters and key financial statement line items
- RH Risk Radar: Ongoing risk assessment covering regulatory changes, sector concentration, and stock-level exposure limits
- RH Pendulum: Rebalancing framework combining fundamental triggers with selective opportunistic (technical) inputs
Portfolio Construction
- Core Portfolio (~80%): Capital-efficient, high-growth businesses forming the stability anchor of the portfolio
- Satellite Portfolio (~20%): Turnaround or contrarian opportunities offering higher risk-reward and margin of safety
