What is PMS?
A professionally-managed portfolio of stocks held directly in your demat, tailored to you — not pooled like a mutual fund.
Investors with ₹50L+ (SEBI minimum) who want a personalised, concentrated portfolio in their own name and accept higher risk.
Personalised strategy, direct ownership & transparency, concentrated high-conviction picks, active professional management.
Tailored to your risk/reward profile.
Full transparency on every trade.
15-30 stocks, no over-diversification.
Direct ownership vs pooled units; ₹50L vs ₹500 min; high customisation; fuller transparency; typically higher, sometimes performance-linked fees.
