ALFAccurate AAA Focus

Scheme Rating

IME Scheme Rating

4 of 5 stars

Good Option in lower-risk Large & Mid-caps: A combination of a focus on large & mid-caps (with limited small-cap exposures), and a high level of diversification, makes this strategy substantially lower risk than typical PMS schemes. What makes the strategy attractive is its longer-term outperformance consistency, without taking on a high level of risk.

IME Strategy Rating

5 of 5 stars

Diversified Large & Mid-Cap Strategy: Alf Accurate’s AAA Focus Fund is a diversified large & mid-cap strategy, that is driven by very clear risk-control policies around the stock, sector, and other exposure limits. AlfAccurate follows a 3M Investment Approach (focused on market size, the margin of safety, and Market Shares of investee companies). The high levels of diversification & risk controls, make this a lower-risk strategy than the other more concentrated strategies common in PMS portfolios. This diversified strategy is in line with ALFAccurate’s philosophy of running strong risk controls to provide superior risk-adjusted returns for investors, this has been followed consistently. A more diversified strategy does help reduce the high volatility & company risks inherent in investing.

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).

AMC

AMC: ALFAccurate PMS (click link for detailed AMC review)

Highly recommended for more conservative investors: ALFAccurate PMS has a number of positives (a highly seasoned investment team, a long-term track record, founder-cum-manager, and a clearly defined and followed investment strategy) that make it a credible PMS provider. While they follow a more diversified strategy (more similar to MF's than the more concentrated strategies common with other PMS providers), their strategies are a good option for investors seeking more stable long-term returns.

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.
