Growth of Passive Investing and Structural Features of Portfolio Management Services in India
Passive investing in India has grown significantly, with assets under management reaching nearly Rs.15 trillion across 690 funds, but common myths—such as low cost guaranteeing best performance or passive funds being risk-free—can mislead investors. Meanwhile, Portfolio Management Services (PMS) offer structural advantages over mutual funds, including concentrated portfolios, customized strategies, and access to niche markets, though investors should be cautious of capacity limits and exclusivity risks. Both investment options have distinct features suited to different investor needs.
