2.How the Portfolio Management Services Concept works?
The Client and the portfolio manager enter into an agreement regarding the investment strategy, goals and other details. PMS are offered on discretionary as well as non-discretionary basis. In the discretionary system, the manager takes investment decisions and has the power of attorney to manage the investor’s demat account and in non discretionary, he will give his investment ideas & the client has to decide where to invest.
Both PMS and Mutual funds differ in terms of working, fee, SEBI regulations and risk-reward ratio. While the main aim of PMS is offering customised services to the client. The other major difference is that the frequency of engagement is very high in the PMS whereas in Mutual Funds there is virtually very less or you can say “no interaction” and it is just limited to NAV .For investors who prefer to interact with the portfolio manager then PMS is the best option for them.
