📈 India’s PMS Industry Is Booming – Here’s Why You Should Pay Attention
India’s Portfolio Management Services (PMS) industry is witnessing unprecedented growth — and it’s only just getting started. With total assets under management (AUM) now crossing ₹7.08 lakh crore, PMS is rapidly emerging as a powerful wealth management avenue for High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNIs) and Ultra-HNIs.
Backed by a robust 33% CAGR, the PMS industry is becoming an increasingly attractive alternative for both seasoned investors and financial professionals looking to enter a high-potential market.
🔍 What’s Driving This Rapid Growth?
Several key factors are fueling the expansion of the PMS space:
-
Rising demand from HNIs and ultra-HNIs for customised and actively managed investment portfolios.
-
A shift away from traditional investment vehicles like fixed deposits and mutual funds.
-
India’s growing economy and pro-investment policy reforms.
-
Investors seeking greater control, transparency, and tailored strategies for wealth management.
PMS offers a more personalised approach compared to traditional funds, giving clients access to expert fund managers and strategies tailored to their financial goals.
