Vivriti AIF Recommendation & Review

PMS Rating

IME PMS Rating

Leading Debt AMC: Vivriti AMC has scaled it's fund business to over 4000 cr of commitements, and has successfully raised 2 vintages of funds (with the first vintage completely divested as well). A combination of a strong team, focus on the performing credit space (relatively lower risk-reward than other high-yield AIFs) and strong pedigree of the group in the debt space (primarily linked to the CredAvenue platform), makes this an attractive AMC in the Debt AIF space.

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.

This category offers superior yields to typical debt securities held by debt mutual funds while having substantially lower credit risk (average default rate of below 1.5% in this category) than the lower-rated papers typically in other high-yield AIFs.

Note: PMS AMC & Scheme Reviews and Ratings are based on IME Capital’s Proprietary Review and Rating Methodology (read more here: AMC Rating & Scheme Ratings). These reflect the unbiased views of our central research team, based on our assessment of the investment value of these PMS/AIF strategies for our investors. We follow a highly stringent rating-criteria, where approximately 50% of PMS AMC’s & strategies would be rated 2-star or below (this is not meant to indicate that these funds are not investment-worthy, but that they do not currently fulfill the requirements we focus on for recommending funds to our investors — based on our internal views on the merit of the AMC/strategy relative to peers). Reviews & Ratings are primarily based on research of publicly available information (SEBI disclosures, PMS websites, PMS-aggregation platforms, webinar recording, media interviews etc.) and no explicit consent is required from AMCs for the same. While we endeavour to do further due-diligence via direct interactions with the investment teams of AMCs, this is typically restricted to AMC’s that meet our foundational fund selection criteria (reviews on lower-rated AMCs are often based solely on publicly available information). The views reflected in our Reviews & Ratings, are our independent views and may not be shared by the AMC’s and the investment teams. Please read detailed disclaimer for more.
