Here’s a look at the Invesco India RISE Portfolio. The basic portfolio strategy aims at investing in companies with:

R: Recovery in Demand

I: Idle Capacity with interest costs declining due to declining financial leverage

S: Superior business models with healthy balance sheets and a potential for earnings to jump back quickly

E: Earnings Recovery and PE Expansion.

Since this is a relatively new strategy it’s not the best thing to compare its performance with other similar strategies in the market. Invesco’s Caterpillar strategy (started in 2009) provides a better comparative framework with other PMS schemes. We will do a separate post on the Caterpillar strategy (About Caterpillar portfolio strategy: invests in mid and small cap stocks that can get re-rated either because of growth in earnings, change in business environment, or companies that may have been overlooked or are out of favour).

PMS Review

In the current environment, the strategy of this portfolio should work in so long as the primary rationale of stock selection is to look for companies where the balance sheets are strong which give the business its staying power even though the P&L feels the pain on account of delay in recovery of earnings cycle. At the same time, at this point there is delay in recovery of earnings for most if not all companies in India.

Universe: Essentially the managers select stocks from the universe of S&P BSE 200 index, Nifty Free Float Midcap 100 index, Nifty Infrastructure Index, Nifty Bank Index and S&P BSE PSU Index. In addition there is select bottom up stock picking approach.

In current environment, this fund is likely to outperform its peer schemes and its benchmark of S&P BSE 500.

In general, It is Impossible to save on the management fee (of~ 2.5%) by purchasing disclosed portfolio stocks on your own. Typically, by the time the fund makes a disclosure of the stocks they are holding, these stocks have already run up by well over 5-10%. Naturally, the fund manager wants you buy it on your own to take the prices higher after he purchases.
