PMS management

Portfolio Management Service (PMS) is a facility offered by a portfolio manager with the intent to achieve the required rate of return within the desired level of risk. An investment portfolio can be a mix of stocks, fixed income, commodities, real estate, other structured products, and cash. A portfolio manager is a licensed investment professional who specializes in analyzing the investment objectives of the investor and has a vast knowledge of the various instruments in the market. The portfolio manager is better positioned to make informed decisions for investments in securities as opposed to a layman.

PMS is a customized service offered to High Net-worth Individuals (HNI) clients. The service is tailored as per the investor’s return requirements and the ability and willingness to assume the risk. An Investment Policy Statement (IPS) is drafted by a PMS to understand the financial position and needs of the client. The portfolio manager ensures that the return requirements coincide with the risk profile. Before executing the optimum portfolio, PMS also studies the various constraints such as time horizon, tax applicability, liquidity, and other unique considerations of the client.

What are the key elements of portfolio management?

Asset Allocation

The portfolio manager focuses on asset allocation, the investment strategy that balances risk and returns. It involves spreading investments across the asset classes of stocks, fixed income securities, cash, commodities and real estate. Asset Allocation makes sure that a sharp fall in one asset class does not impact the overall portfolio performance.

Diversification

Diversification is a technique of allocating capital across a variety of investments. While asset allocation focuses on the percentage of stocks, bonds and cash in your portfolio, diversification involves spreading assets across asset classes within these buckets. Portfolio managers of PMS use the diversification strategy to enhance the portfolio’s risk-adjusted returns.

Rebalancing

PMS Portfolio Managers focus on rebalancing the portfolio to align with investors’ financial goals and risk tolerance.

Conclusion

Portfolio management focuses on developing investment strategies to help investors attain their financial goals based on the investment horizon and risk profile.
Portfolio managers build customised portfolios to match clients’ requirements of capital appreciation, regular income or liquidity.
