A structured, documented, and repeatable process for identifying and recommending mutual fund schemes — based entirely on objective analysis.
Our selection follows a rigid 10-step process. No scheme is recommended without completing all objective criteria.
Aligning client goals and horizon with the suitable MF category (Large Cap, Mid Cap, Hybrid, etc.).
Evaluation of AMC reputation, AUM size, and stable fund management track record.
Rolling return comparison against benchmarks across 1, 3, and 5-year periods.
Evaluation of Sharpe, Sortino, and Standard Deviation to assess reward vs risk.
Preference for lower expense ratios to maximize long-term wealth creation.
Consistency check of the manager’s tenure and investment style stability.
Checking sector concentration and credit quality (minimum AA- for debt).
Matching scheme risk (Low to Very High) to the client’s assessed risk profile.
Final review and sign-off by the compliance team before recommendation.
Yearly audit of the list; ad-hoc reviews triggered by major market events.
Recommendations are made strictly within these risk-ceiling boundaries.
