Scheme Rating
IME Scheme Rating
Highly Recommended Small-cap Fund: A differentiated quant-based approach to small-cap investing, with the backing of a highly pedigreed team of quant managers and an unmatched performance track record in terms of return consistency, makes AccuraCap PicoPower one of our most recommended strategies in the small-cap space.
IME Strategy Rating
Quant Strategy: One of the few pure-quant strategies focused on small-caps & strong companies that can deliver higher growth than large-caps with high risk. The portfolio consists of 12-35 high-quality companies based on AI and algorithms. The average historical holding period of stocks is 2 years. Accuracap PicoPower has demonstrated sustained performance since its inception, showcasing a track record of reliability and consistent capital appreciation throughout various market cycles.
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).
IME View on Accuracap PicoPower
Investment Philosophy
Accuracap PMS’s Alphagen strategy is a quant-strategy that seeks to construct a portfolio of 30-40 high-quality companies (Mid and small-cap focused) based on their Artificial Intelligence-based Intelligent Ranking Algorithm. The algorithm is based on fundamental factors & risk management, with the portfolio is 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.

Details shared above, are only a short-snapshot of the more detailed analysis that resides in IME’s Proprietary RMS (Research Management Solution).
The IME RMS is the first tool ever, to give investors direct access to the insights of the central research team. Investors gain direct access to our ratings, rating rationales & analysis across thousands of funds (MFs, PMSs, AIFs, Global funds), asset classes, categories & more.
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.
