AMC

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

Not a top recommendation as it is still a young AMC at this time : While there are positives to Avestha PMS (a seasoned core investment team, long-term investment approach), we would rather wait for the PMS to mature prior to recommending it as an investment option. This is primarily driven by factors such as the team's core experience being different from that of running concentrated mandates, the short-age of the PMS strategies, a lack of publicly disclosed portfolios and a high initial ticket size (2cr+) for a PMS that is still to establish its longer-term credentials.
