IME Strategy Rating

5 of 5 stars

Business Consolidation After Disruption (BCAD) Thematic Strategy: Unifi’s BCAD strategy, aims to invest in businesses that are benefiting from industry consolidation after a period of disruption. The original BCAD thematic strategy was launched in 2018 to benefit from consolidation post GST & demonetisation, and has delivered attractive returns to investors. The BCAD strategy has recently been relaunched, on the back of attractive investment opportunities emerging from regulatory changes, demographic changes, urbanisation, consumer behaviour & technology. The strategy aims to benefit from underlying consumerism growth and the immiment value migration from unorganised to organised players. The strategy has a focused investment approach towards companies & sectors that are benefiting from underlying consumerism and consolidation brought about by a variety of different disruptions. This is a mid & small-cap strategy, which fits well within Unifi’s known area of expertise.

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).

Note: PMS AMC & Scheme Reviews and Ratings are based on IME Capital’s Proprietary Review and Rating Methodology (read more here: AMC Rating & Scheme Ratings). These reflect the unbiased views of our central research team, based on our assessment of the investment value of these PMS/AIF strategies for our investors. We follow a highly stringent rating-criteria, where approximately 50% of PMS AMC’s & strategies would be rated 2-star or below (this is not meant to indicate that these funds are not investment-worthy, but that they do not currently fulfill the requirements we focus on for recommending funds to our investors — based on our internal views on the merit of the AMC/strategy relative to peers). Reviews & Ratings are primarily based on research of publicly available information (SEBI disclosures, PMS websites, PMS-aggregation platforms, webinar recording, media interviews etc.) and no explicit consent is required from AMCs for the same. While we endeavour to do further due-diligence via direct interactions with the investment teams of AMCs, this is typically restricted to AMC’s that meet our foundational fund selection criteria (reviews on lower-rated AMCs are often based solely on publicly available information). The views reflected in our Reviews & Ratings, are our independent views and may not be shared by the AMC’s and the investment teams. Please read detailed disclaimer for more.
