Asset Manager Rating

The primary purpose of PACRA’s Asset Manager Rating is to provide users with an independent opinion on the quality and expertise deployed by an asset management company and potential vulnerability to investment management and operational challenges. It attempts to analyze an AMC not only on a standalone basis but also in the relative universe. Factors underlying the methodology are grouped under two segments – Anchors and Modifiers. Anchoring factors help to understand design and objectives of an AMC. PACRA evaluates i) Profile, ii) Ownership, iii) Governance, iv) Management, vi) Investment Risk Management vi) Portfolio Management and vii) Customer Relationship. Factors classified as modifiers capture an AMC’s progress and achievements using its design and against its objectives. This is determined by evaluating investment Performance in terms of Assets Under Management and Financial Sustainability.
