Sector Agnostic as stock selection approach will be bottom-up. It finds principal basis in Balance sheet strength, Promoter history, Capital efficiency and Business Scalability/Growth runway.

AMC Rating

3 of 5 stars

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

Avestha PMS has a seasoned core investment team and a long-term investment approach, but we recommend waiting for the PMS to mature before considering it as an investment option. Factors such as the team’s limited experience in running concentrated mandates, the short-age of PMS strategies, lack of publicly disclosed portfolios, and a high initial ticket size (2cr+) suggest the need for the PMS to establish its longer-term credentials.

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).
