Roha Asset PMS

PMS Rating

IME PMS Rating

3 of 5 stars

Not a top recommendation as it is still a young AMC at this time : Roha is still a young PMS firm (started in 2020) that is yet to prove its investment management credentials. The group that controls Roha AMC is involved in other business verticals, beyond other financial services such as real estate, solar & wind energy, and healthcare (which makes it a bit unclear in terms of the focus on its AMC business). While these are concerns, Roha has a sound strategy and has a pedigreed fund manager, Dhiraj Sachdev, with over 2 decades of experience. The AMC is still nascent and we would recommend waiting for it to mature.

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.
