Scheme Rating

IME Scheme Rating

3 of 5 stars

For investors seeking more concentrated large-cap investments.

IME Strategy Rating

3 of 5 stars

This Portfolio is a Large Cap biased portfolio. A portfolio built a high-quality concentrated portfolio of 10-15 stocks on the best opportunity basis. Portfolio companies are the market leaders in their respective spaces and operate in a moderate to high growth environment. The scheme has a philosophy of high quality concentrated portfolio. The levels of concentration can be appealing to certain higher-risk-appetite investors, even as it is important to recognize that such concentration can lead to sharp underperformance if a few calls go wrong (and vice versa)

AMC Rating

3 of 5 stars

AMC: Renaissance India PMS (click link for detailed AMC review)

While Renniassance India PMS has a fund manager with a strong track record, it is still young and sub-scale, possibly due to a focus on AIF’s. We prefer to wait for the PMS platform to mature before recommending investments.

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).
