Types Of Portfolio Management Services
1. Discretionary Portfolio Management
The portfolio manager has complete authority to make investment decisions and take actions on your behalf. It includes choosing what and when to buy/sell and how to distribute your money across various asset classes. Most PMSs in India operate with this model.
2. Non-Discretionary Portfolio Management
In this model, the portfolio manager will first lay the suitable suggestions in front of you. Once you approve the advice, the manager will go ahead and make the transaction on your behalf.
3. Active Portfolio Management
Active management will focus on maximizing the returns by investing in various asset classes. Portfolio managers will adjust your portfolio as per market conditions to ensure suitable risk-reward.
4. Passive Portfolio Management
Passive management focuses more on safety by investing in avenues that replicate the benchmark-such as index funds. The returns may not be as superior, but the portfolio will carry lower risk.
