Concentrated Mid and Small Cap Strategy: Concentrated Portfolio (12-18 holdings). Buy-&-Hold Strategy that allows ample room for recognition of our preferred equity characteristics. 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.
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: 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.

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.
