Performance of PMSs is not as frequently discussed as mutual funds. The reason – NAV of mutual fund schemes and performance data are easily available on public domain. Also, the mutual fund industry has 2.28 crore unique investors and hence, the scope and coverage is wider than that of PMS.
Since mutual funds largely cater to retail investors, the market regulator has put several checks and balances on fund management like large cap funds have to invest at least 80% of the total corpus in large cap companies (from the basket of 100 companies) and cap on exposure to single sector or company. However, there is no such restrictions on PMS fund managers as PMSs are meant for well-informed investors who understand nuances of markets.
Let us look at long term performance of PMS. We look at data from pmsbazaar.com which discloses performance of close to 200 PMSs covering 104 PMS providers. Of the 200 odd PMSs, we have shortlisted funds that have generated at least 15% CAGR in 5 years as on March 31, 2021.
