PMS Rating

IME PMS Rating

AMC does not meet our selection criteria at this time

Not a top recommendation due to being an MF-driven PMS: We are not fans of MF-promoted PMS's, primarily due to it often being a side-business of the larger MF and without any certainty of the longer-term stability of the investment team. While the research & distribution strengths of the mutual fund can help the PMS scale, this does not make it valuable for investors seeking alternative investment classes. Additionally, SBI PMS is still at a more nascent stage of evolution than other MF-promoted PMS providers. We do not recommend SBI PMS at this time.

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.
