Portfolio Management Services

What is a Portfolio Management Service (PMS)?

Portfolio Management Services (PMS) is an investment portfolio in stocks and also for fixed income, debt, structured products and other individual securities, managed by professional managers. An investor in PMS will own individual securities unlike a mutual fund investor, who owns units of the scheme or a fund.

There are two different types of PMS, discretionary and non-discretionary however majority of the asset management companies offer only discretionary PMS.

Discretionary PMS:
In discretionary PMS, the choice as well as the timings of investment rest solely with the Fund Manager. The discretionary portfolio manager manages the funds of each investor independently and investments are made at the fund manager's discretion and not on investors discretion.

Non-Discretionary PMS:
In non-discretionary PMS, the fund manager will only suggest the investment ideas. The decisions on timings as well as choice of the investment rests solely with the investor. However, the execution of trade is done by the fund manager. There are very few PMS service providers who offer Non-discretionary PMS.
