Accuracap Alphagen

Scheme Rating

IME Scheme Rating

The Scheme does not meet our selection criteria at this time

Prefer other multi-cap strategies: Our rating for Alphagen is primarily due to the lack of return consistency in terms of the outperformance of the strategy. We believe that AI-ML models have more alpha generation potential in small and mid-caps where price discrepancy is higher compared to more well-followed and liquid large-caps. Accordingly, we believe anyone looking for an algo strategy should consider the small and mid-cap space for the same.

IME Strategy Rating

Quant Strategy: Adopts a quant strategy to construct a portfolio of 12-35 high-quality companies based on its AI-based algorithm to multi-caps.

PMS Scheme Ratings are driven by IME’s Proprietary Scheme Rating Methodology, which takes into account our ratings of the Scheme’s investment strategy, its maturity, the investment team, and our separate rating on the AMC that runs this particular scheme. Our views on each of these individual criteria are available via the IME RMS – which you can view by reaching out to one of our relationship managers (using either the live chat or book appointment feature on this site).

Investment Philosophy

Accuracap PMS’s Alphagen strategy is a quant-strategy that seeks to construct a portfolio of 12-35 high-quality companies (multi-cap focused) based on their Artificial Intelligence based Intelligent Ranking Algorithm. The algorithm is based on fundamental factors & risk management, with the portfolio being rebalanced once a year and stocks exited if they fall below the cut-off ranking on the Intelligent Ranking Algorithm. The average historical holding period of stocks is ~2 years.

Portfolio Construction

  • Low Churn and Tax Efficient: average holding period is 2 years. All gains are long-term capital gains. The strategy aims to be fully invested and does not attempt to time the Market
  • Portfolio Rebalancing:  rebalanced on a pre-defined schedule and usually once a year
  • Exits: exits the portfolio if the rank is below the cut-off on the rebalance date where the exiting Stock is replaced by the new high-ranked stock while keeping the number of stocks in the portfolio constant.
