How to Find the Best PMS in India for Investment
1. Evaluate the Portfolio Management Team
When selecting a Portfolio Management Service (PMS), assessing the stability and philosophy of the fund manager is crucial.
- Look for low churn among portfolio managers — frequent changes often lead to inconsistent performance.
- Prefer founder-led PMS houses. They often bring long-term vision and “skin in the game” through personal capital.
- Ask: Is the manager aligned with our investors’ goals?
- Consistency and conviction matter more than short-term returns.
2. Assess the AUM (Assets Under Management)
AUM reflects both trust and scale. However, bigger is not always better.
- PMS funds with moderate AUMs (₹300–3,000 Cr) often deliver better flexibility and alpha generation.
- Overly large AUMs may limit stock selection to large-caps.
- The best PMS in India today leverage India’s $4 trillion economy by focusing on scalable opportunities across small- and mid-cap segments.
3. Analyse Performance Using Risk-Adjusted Metrics
Returns are only part of the story — the quality of those returns is what separates the best from the rest.
Evaluate both monthly and long-term metrics, including:
- Upside/Downside Capture Ratios
- Sharpe Ratio – return per unit of risk
- Information Ratio – consistency vs benchmark
- Alpha – active return over passive strategy
Use our QRC Framework (Quality, Risk, Consistency) to compare PMS strategies across multiple dimensions.

Transparent. Clear. Investor-First.
An Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) is a privately pooled investment vehicle that collects funds from investors—both Indian and foreign—and invests in assets such as startups, private equity, hedge funds, real estate, and infrastructure, as defined by the Securities and Exchange Board of India.
AIFs in India are classified into three categories:
- Category I – Invests in startups, SMEs, infrastructure, and socially beneficial sectors
- Category II – Includes private equity funds, debt funds, and funds not using leverage
- Category III – Hedge funds using complex strategies and leverage for higher returns
AIFs are regulated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India under the SEBI (Alternative Investment Funds) Regulations, 2012.
AIFs are typically meant for:
- High Net-worth Individuals (HNIs)
- Institutional investors
- Family offices
- Corporate investors
Retail investors with smaller capital usually cannot participate.
The minimum investment amount in an AIF is ₹1 crore per investor (₹25 lakh for employees/directors of the fund).
- Access to exclusive investment opportunities (pre-IPO, private equity)
- Portfolio diversification beyond traditional assets
- Potential for higher returns
- Professional fund management
- Illiquidity (long lock-in periods)
- Higher risk compared to mutual funds
- Limited transparency in some strategies
- Market and business risks (especially in startups)
| Feature | AIF | Mutual Funds |
|---|---|---|
| Regulation | SEBI | SEBI |
| Minimum Investment | ₹1 Crore | ₹500–₹5,000 |
| Risk | High | Moderate |
| Liquidity | Low | High |
| Investment Scope | Private markets | Public markets |
Category I & II AIFs: Pass-through taxation (taxed at investor level)
Category III AIFs: Taxed at fund level
Tax treatment depends on income type (capital gains, business income, etc.).
Category I & II AIFs: Typically 7–10 years (close-ended)
Category III AIFs: Can be open-ended or close-ended
Yes, Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and foreign investors can invest in AIFs, subject to regulatory guidelines and KYC norms.
- Startup funding
- Pre-IPO shares (like unlisted companies)
- Real estate projects
- Venture capital investments
Category II AIFs include:
- Private Equity Funds
- Debt Funds
- Fund of Funds
These funds do not use leverage except for operational purposes.
AIFs are generally not suitable for small retail investors due to:
- High minimum investment
- Long lock-in
- Higher risk profile
To invest in AIFs:
- Choose a SEBI-registered AIF
- Complete KYC and documentation
- Commit capital (₹1 crore minimum)
- Review fund strategy and past performance
Portfolio Management Services (PMS): Customized portfolios for individual investors
AIF: Pooled investment structure
Both cater to HNIs but differ in structure and strategy.
AIFs often invest in companies before they go public (pre-IPO stage), allowing investors to benefit from potential listing gains.
Typical fee structure includes:
- Management fee (1–2%)
- Performance fee (carry, usually 15–20%)
AIFs are regulated but not risk-free. Safety depends on:
- Fund manager expertise
- Investment strategy
- Market conditions
- Growing startup ecosystem
- Increasing HNI wealth
- Demand for alternative assets
- Better returns compared to traditional investments
Yes, subject to buyer availability and fund transferability conditions.
Pricing depends on market demand, fund performance, and negotiation between parties.
Timelines vary based on buyer matching and documentation but are typically faster than waiting for fund maturity.
