Kotak Investment Approach Series II

Scheme Rating

IME Scheme Rating

The Scheme does not meet our selection criteria at this time

A call on the specific theme: We typically do not recommend Thematic funds to investors, since it requires getting in and out of the theme at the right time. Typically a strong contra approach (investing in themes when they are out of favour, and getting out when they are popular) leads to better performance, but this is very hard to actually implement in practice given strong behavioural instincts against such an approach (investors often end up entering themes post a run-up, which can often be the worst time to invest). In our view, thematic funds are primarily suitable for more astute investors who have a deep underlying understanding of the investment merits of the theme.

IME Strategy Rating

:

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).

Kotak Special Situation Value 1-Investment Strategy

Investing in specific opportunities- Special Situation & Value

Kotak Special Situations Fund seeks to invest in 2 specific types of specific opportunities – Special Situations & Value. Special situations refer to corporate events that can lead to value unlocking (such as demergers, delisting and corporate restructurings). The key attraction of these investments is that their returns tend to be relatively uncorrelated with market returns.

AMC

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

Not a top recommendation due to being an MF-driven PMS: Within MF-driven PMS houses, Kotak PMS is one of the better-run PMS platforms. This is primarily driven by a relatively stable investment team and a more differentiated & defined investment style (relative to other AMC PMSs, but not pure-play investor-promoted PMS funds), which combined with the benefits of being a part of a larger financial conglomerate make it a reasonable choice for PMS investments.
