Scheme Rating

IME Scheme Rating

3 of 5 stars

While Motilal has all the required credentials for a strong PMS strategy, continued underperformance in recent years with limited signs of strategies to turn around the same, lead to us not recommending Motilal NTDOP at this time. We would wait for clearer signs of performance to improve before recommending the same.

IME Strategy Rating

4 of 5 stars

Follows a fair broad mandate by investing in sectors contributing next trillion dollars of GDP growth. This is a fairly broad definition, that allows fund managers the flexibility to switch between sectors based on their views. NTDOP is a multi-cap portfolio (though with a higher share of large-caps than other Motilal PMS strategies), which helps reduce return volatility compared to the other more mid-cap oriented Moti strategies. There is a clearly defined investment philosophy of long-term investing in high-quality companies that meet Motilal’s QGLP Philosophy (Quality, Growth, Longevity, Price).

AMC Rating

3 of 5 stars

AMC: Motilal Oswal AMC PMS (click link for detailed AMC review)

Motilal PMS, co-founded by a highly-respected investor, boasts stability in its core investment team, strong processes, a defined philosophy, and backing from a strong broking & MF business. Despite its strong pedigree, the performance of its strategies has been weak in recent years accompanied by substantial churn & change in the core investment team. While fund performance has started to improve, we would wait to see a more sustained turnaround under the new investment team, prior to upgrading our lower 3-star rating for an established PMS provider.

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).

Investment Philosophy

Motilal’s Next Trillion-Dollar Opportunity Fund (NTDOP) is a multi-cap portfolio that aims to invest in the top companies from sectors that stand to contribute the most to the next trillion dollars of GDP growth.

Motilal has a very clearly defined investment philosophy of long-term investing in high quality companies that meet their QGLP investment criteria. They have followed this strategy consistently for over 2 decades, with limited style drift.

The QGLP Framework:

  • Quality of the Business and Quality of the Management: Stable businesses preferable consumer facing, with huge business opportunity and sustainable competitive advantages. Businesses run by competent management.
  • Growth in Earnings: Driven by volume growth, price growth, mix change, operating and financial leverage.
  • Longevity (of Quality and Growth): Dictated by long-term relevance of the business, extending competitive advantage period and sustenance of growth momentum.
  • Price: Reasonable valuation, relative to quality and growth prospects with high margin of safety.

Once they have identified stocks that meet their strict QGLP criteria, Motilal aims to Sit Tight (by following a long-term buy-and-hold approach in concentrated stock portfolios.)

STRATEGY

Motilal’s NTDOP focuses on the next trillion-dollar opportunity in India. The strategy aims to benefit from the exponential increase in discretionary spending on the back of doubling real GDP per capita.

Key themes the strategy focuses on: housing, auto, consumer durables, entertainment, travel, and premium wear among others.

Motilal NTDOP is positioned to invest in companies that fall in the ‘sweet spot’, defined as companies with a market cap between 3500-30000 Cr. They believe these are companies that are under-researched, under-owned and have high growth prospects with a certain demonstrated management history.
