Tata AMC PMS

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: Typically MF driven PMS's benefit from the distribution & research strengths of the mutual fund. However, Tata MF has struggled to scale relative to the value of its brand and the PMS division is more an off-shoot than a strong independent arm. Until the PMS business is not more clearly defined and given a greater degree of focus, we do not recommend investments in Tata PMS.

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.
