PMS Spotlight: Qode Advisors LLP
Qode Advisors LLP dominated the top three spots with its disciplined quant models. The firm's flagship quant small-cap play, O.N.E. (operational outperformance, normalized momentum, and earnings quality), helped the strategy punch above its weight in a brutal month for small-caps. Launched in March 2025, O.N.E. focuses on fundamentally strong, under-the-radar compounders early. The top holdings in this strategy include Karur Vysya Bank, Steelcast, Kwality Pharma, City Union Bank, and Welspun Corp, showcasing a clear tilt towards quality banks and niche industrials/pharma.
Other Notable PMS Strategies
- Qode Advisors LLP's Qode Tactical Fund, a pure momentum-driven quant strategy, systematically rotated into the strongest trending segments via ETFs, limiting damage in March's sell-off.
- Investvalue Capital's India Winners Portfolio, a research-led multi-cap strategy, drove high-conviction bets on structural India themes, including formalisation, consumption boom, manufacturing push, and digital shift.
- Envision Capital Services' Envision New Frontiers, a growth-oriented strategy, followed a bottom-up focus on capital-efficient businesses that can scale in emerging India opportunities.
- Capital 8 LLP's Capital 8 Infinity Fund followed a macro and market cycle analysis for early-sector identification and strict risk management.
