On July 16, 2024, SEBI proposed to create a new asset class, which would be a mix of mutual funds and PMSes (portfolio management services), potentially spelling doom for the latter. Let’s find out why.
To invest in PMS, you need a minimum investment of Rs 50 lakh. For the new asset class, the minimum investment required will likely be much lower (Rs 10 lakh).
In PMS, investors have to incur a tax liability every time a fund manager makes a sale. However, for the new product, you will only pay tax at the time of withdrawal.
Like mutual funds, the new asset class will include SWP and STP features, enabling you to redeem your money as and when required. On the other hand, PMSes typically have stricter investment redemptions.
