Portfolio Managers – PMS

Portfolio Management Services (PMS) provide a regulated framework for managing client portfolios through discretionary, non-discretionary or advisory services. Setting up a PMS involves more than obtaining SEBI registration.

With the SEBI (Portfolio Managers) Regulations, 2026 scheduled to come into effect from 1 April 2027, the regulatory landscape is set to evolve. The revised framework expands investment avenues and introduces the Portfolio Managers Route for Investing in Mutual Fund Units (PRIM), creating a dedicated route for portfolio managers offering mutual fund-based portfolio management, subject to applicable conditions. These changes are relevant both to existing portfolio managers preparing for the transition and to new applicants evaluating their business model.

We provide assistance with PMS registration, regulatory structuring and ongoing compliance, including guidance on existing regulatory requirements and preparation for the changes expected in 2027.
