What is Discretionary Portfolio Management Service?

In a discretionary PMS, the portfolio manager manages the funds of the client in accordance with the needs of the client.

Portfolio Management Services (PMS) are Sebi registered professional services for investment management and funds administration to create wealth for the client.

The minimum threshold for such services is Rs 25 lakh. However, some portfolio managers insist on a minimum requirement of Rs 1 crore. In a discretionary PMS, the portfolio manager manages the funds of the client in accordance with the needs of the client.


Disclosure document

The portfolio manager must give the client a disclosure document at least two days prior to entering into a PMS agreement. It contains the manager’s performance, financials and fee details, portfolio risks and transactions with related parties.

PMS agreement
A discretionary portfolio management agreement must be signed between the portfolio manager and the client. The agreement sets out the rights and liabilities of the two parties, fees and investment details.
