Portfolio Management Service
Portfolio Management Service (PMS) is a professional service offered to different investor classes like private clients, family offices, HNIs etc.
It essentially represents a portfolio in stocks, fixed income and other securities managed by experienced and professional portfolio managers. PMS caters to clients’ different investments objectives by offering bespoke solutions to meet investors’ unique investment objectives.
In PMS each investor owns individual securities and the portfolio is managed independently unlike mutual fund where investment management is undertaken for the entire set of customers.
