Investing in Portfolio Management Service (PMS).
Investing in portfolio management services is one of the most preferred option for NRIs to grow their wealth back in India. In PMS the investor would own individual securities whereas in mutual funds the investor would own units of the fund. Another key distinguishing factor or advantage that PMS has over mutual funds is that the performance of the PMS is not affected by the inflow and outflow of money as it does in mutual funds.
PMS is the preferred choice of investors when it comes to achieving a pre-planned goal. PMS offers diversification and personalized investment solutions for long-term wealth creation. PMS is the ideal route by which the investor can own the stocks in his own name while using the expertise of the fund manager. PMS is very dynamic and can be altered at any time based on the ever-changing conditions of the stock market. This offers a great advantage to PMS investors as they will make the most of any fluctuations in the stock market.
