Currently, ICICI Prudential PMS manages investors' funds to the tune of Rs 4,000 crore, while overall the fund house has assets under management of over Rs 2.93 lakh crore.
The Managing Director and Chief Executive of the fund house said "We are in a situation where the valuations are very rich and too much money is chasing very few quality small-cap companies," he added.
