Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the core investment philosophy of the Value Strategy? +

The strategy follows a "Buy and Hold" approach focused on companies that are currently underappreciated by the market. It uses an in-house "BMV" (Business, Management, and Valuation) framework to filter for companies with a visible competitive advantage, capable management, and attractive valuations relative to their growth potential.

2. How does the multi-cap approach benefit the portfolio? +

By investing across large, mid, and small-cap stocks, the fund manager has the flexibility to find "value" wherever it exists in the market. Large-caps often provide stability, while mid and small-caps offer higher growth potential when their intrinsic value is eventually recognized by the broader market.

3. What is the minimum ticket size to start an account? +

In alignment with SEBI regulations for all Portfolio Management Services in India, the minimum investment required is ₹50 Lakhs. This can be contributed via cash (bank transfer) or by transferring an existing portfolio of listed securities of equivalent value.

4. How is the performance benchmarked? +

The performance of the Value Strategy is measured against the S&P BSE 500 TRI. This benchmark is chosen because it represents a broad cross-section of the Indian equity market, covering various sectors and market capitalizations, which aligns with the fund's multi-cap mandate.

5. How is the tax treatment different from Mutual Funds? +

Unlike Mutual Funds, where tax is only triggered when you sell your units, in a PMS, every transaction (buy/sell) within the portfolio is treated as a direct transaction by the investor. This means Capital Gains Tax (Short-Term or Long-Term) is applicable on each sale executed by the fund manager within your account. ICICI Prudential provides an audited annual tax statement to help you file your returns.
