Scheme Rating

IME Scheme Rating

3 of 5 stars

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.

Can be considered for investment: We are great believers in investment managers having a laser focus on their areas of expertise, as compared to trying to do too many things at the same time. Trivantage PMS is a PMS provider that is laser-focused on a single sector (financials), with investments managed by a financial sector veteran, which makes it one of the most attractive BFSI sector funds in the market.
