Strategy
MNC Focused Thematic Portfolio
Investment Fund
This is not a recommended fund, primarily because the AMC does not meet our selection criteria. We believe that there are better fund houses to invest in, within the Indian fund universe.
Fund's Strategy View
Anand Rathi's MNC Portfolio is a concentrated MNC-focused portfolio, that aims to invest in 15 - 20 MNC stocks (~50% into the large-cap). Sectorally well-diversified portfolio. The strategy aims to benefit from the advantage of MNC companies - successful business model, healthy balance sheet, strong corporate governance, higher return ratio and favourable risk-adjusted returns.
Fund Performance
The fund has underperformed peers & is amongst the worst performing schemes in this category in the last 5 year trailing returns. In terms of longer-term annual performance, performance consistency has been mixed, with the fund having outperformed & underperformed the bechmark roughly in half the years.
IME's View on Anand Rathi PMS
View on AMC
Anand Rathi has scaled meaningfully, and the presence of Mayur Shah, a homegrown fund manager, has brought greater stability to the team. However, his ownership stake in the AMC introduces uncertainty around potential churn. Additionally, the fund’s performance has been highly volatile. Given these factors, we do not recommend the strategy for investment at this time.
AMC's Pedigree
Anand Rathi’s equity research capabilities are strong, and while their PMS business has scaled up well in recent years, it still represents a relatively small portion of the overall group
AMC Team
Mayur Shah began his fund management career within Anand Rathi, having been with the firm for nearly 20 years and heading the PMS arm since 2017
Investment Philosophy
Anand Rathi PMS does not have a set investment philosophy at the PMS level; instead, the philosophy is determined at the scheme level.
