Concentrated Investing
What is Portfolio Management Service?
Portfolio Management Services provide professionally managed equity portfolios designed for investors with larger capital and long-term investment horizons.
PMS strategies typically involve focused portfolios of 15–25 carefully selected stocks, actively managed by experienced portfolio managers. Unlike mutual funds, securities are held directly in your own demat account — giving you full transparency and direct ownership.
HawkSarthi facilitates access to SEBI-registered PMS providers under our distribution registration APRN-07338.

PMS May Be Suitable For Investors Who
PMS is not designed for every investor. The following profiles may find PMS relevant — though individual suitability should always be assessed based on your financial situation, goals, and risk capacity.
Have Larger Investable Capital
The regulatory minimum for PMS is ₹50 Lakhs. Investors with higher capital pools tend to benefit more from the concentrated strategy approach.
Seek Active Portfolio Management
Investors who prefer professionally managed, actively monitored portfolios over passive index funds or self-managed equity.
Have a Long Investment Horizon
PMS strategies typically require a 5–10 year or longer outlook to realise their full potential. Short-term investors may not be suited.
Can Tolerate Market Volatility
As concentrated equity portfolios, PMS carries higher short-term volatility than diversified funds. Investors need to be comfortable with equity market risk.
Important Considerations
Key factors to be aware of before making a PMS investment decision
Market Risk
Returns depend entirely on market performance. PMS portfolios are subject to the same market risks as direct equity — there is no capital protection or guaranteed return.
Investment Horizon
A long-term approach of 5–10 years or more is generally recommended. Redeeming early, especially during market downturns, significantly impacts final outcomes.
Portfolio Concentration
Focused portfolios of 15–25 stocks carry higher concentration risk compared to diversified mutual funds. Individual stock performance has a meaningful impact on overall returns.
