Invesco PMS | Equity | | PMSIME's View on Invesco R.I.S.E
Strategy
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
Focus on 2 themes: Economic revival & Increase in consumer spending. The strategy should allow for outperformance during periods of economic recovery.
Fund Performance
The fund has underperformed peers in the last 5yr trailing returns. In terms of longer-term annual performance, performance has been consistent, with the fund having outperformed it's benchmark in over 60% of annual calendar years.
IME's View on Invesco PMS
View on AMC
Invesco AMC has a strong research process and unique portfolios, but the core investment team is relatively new. The company faces typical challenges of large MF-driven PMS houses, such as PMS being an add-on rather than a separate business unit, team turnover, and a lack of commitment from the CIO. While Invesco has potential in the PMS market, it is too early to recommend significant investments in their strategies due to ongoing leadership changes.
AMC's Pedigree
Invesco's India business, although part of a global investment giant, has not fully reached its potential yet. It benefits from the process orientation of being part of a larger global investment firm.
AMC Team
Amit Nigam and Taher are experienced professionals in the investment industry, with backgrounds in managing smaller AMCs and spearheading growth at Motilal MF. However, their recent recruitment at Invesco AMC has resulted in a lack of continuity in the investment team, impacting the team's pedigree rating.
Investment Philosophy
Investment philosophy is not clearly defined at the PMS level, but at the portfolio level, strategies are well-defined and strictly followed compared to other AMC peer PMSs.
Invesco RISE- Investment Strategy
Focus on companies that benefit from a revival in economic growth and rise in consumer discretionary
Invesco PMS’s RISE strategy aims to invest in companies that will benefit from a revival in economic growth and a rise in consumer discretionary spending. Stock selection will take place on a bottom-up basis across a range of sectors and market capitalization. RISE strategy is driven by the following:- R: Seek for company that will have an advantage from recovery in demand and a rise in discretionary spending.
- I: Businesses with an idle capacity having the potential for operating leverage; and their interest cost to decline as financial leverage declines.
- S: Focusing on businesses with superior models and healthy balance sheets. Those companies that also have suppressed earnings can spring back swiftly.
- E: Earnings recovery of business can spring back on the back of operating and financial leverage. The expansion of valuation can add to returns.
Investment Strategy
Invesco RISE follows the strategy focusing on these elements:- Operating Leverage: Seeking for companies that have the potential to make more operating profit for each additional sales as demand recovers.
- Financial Leverage: Seeking for companies that have the potential to make more net profit from incremental operating profit
- Value: Companies that are trading below their intrinsic value.
