PMS Sector to Reach 20% CAGR as Retail Involvement Rises

Industry data presented at the third annual Investor Conference suggests that the Portfolio Management Services sector could sustain a compound annual growth rate of around 20 percent if current trends persist. The chief regulator attributed this outlook to the rapid increase in investor participation across equities, debt, and hybrid products.

The speaker pointed out that the growth of mutual fund and Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) platforms provides complementary options rather than direct competition. Each product type serves specific investor profiles, ranging from cost‑sensitive passive investors to high‑net‑worth individuals looking for active, hands‑on portfolio oversight.

PMS providers, therefore, are encouraged to refine their service models, integrate technology, and communicate performance benefits more clearly. By doing so, they can capture a larger slice of the expanding wealth‑management pie.
