Investment Objective

ICICI Prudential PMS Quanti-FI Strategy invests in equity and equity-related securities identified through a quantitative model, with an aim to generate optimal returns over the long term.

Investment Philosophy

The Strategy aims to invest in companies by screening and selecting stocks through a quant model built on technical, fundamental, and other factors. The model is designed to surface insights that may enable the Portfolio Manager to take a more informed investment decision, rather than relying on a single lens alone.

Key Considerations of the Strategy

Technical Parameters

Factors related to a security's price behaviour — relative strength, liquidity, volatility, and historic performance.

Financial & Valuation Parameters

Drawn from a company's financial statements — price-to-book, price-to-earnings, sales growth, EBIT, return on equity, debt-equity ratio, free cash flow / operating cash flow, and dividend yield.

Macroeconomic Indicators

Domestic and global signals such as current account deficit, exchange rate movement, and G-Sec yields.
