AMC Rating

3 of 5 stars

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

Established in 2011 as a RIA, Purnartha has a strong research background and stock selection. Despite being new in PMS and AIF offerings launched in 2020, the AMC and team have a good pedigree. Their research is skilled in identifying quality ideas, but the high level of concentration makes it more suitable for higher-risk investors.

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).
