To invest in a portfolio management service, you have to open a new demat account and a bank account with the PMS provider. You will have to hand over a power of attorney to your portfolio manager for these accounts. You have full access to these accounts to track your investments, and the portfolio manager will act on your behalf to optimize your portfolio.
