is a type of financial vehicle that pools the capital of several investors with similar investment goals or objectives. The pooled capital is invested in various asset classes, including equities, bonds, commodities, etc., by the fund managers, who are professionals in this field. After deducting expenses and fees, the investor gets the return on their investment. An <a href=\"https:\/\/wp-api.pocketful.in\/blog\/asset-management-companies-amc-in-india\/\">asset management company<\/a>, or AMC, is the organization in charge of this procedure.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In India, mutual funds can be categorized based on asset classes, financial goals and structure. There are four types of mutual funds in India based on asset class-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-api.pocketful.in\/blog\/equity-mutual-funds\/\">Equity Mutual Fund<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 Due to its vulnerability to fluctuations in the market, this specific mutual fund type is riskier than others because it typically invests in stocks or equities.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-api.pocketful.in\/blog\/debt-mutual-funds\/\">Debt Mutual Fund<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 Investors who invest in these funds are risk-averse because they invest in fixed-income securities such as government bonds, corporate bonds, and other fixed-income securities.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-api.pocketful.in\/blog\/hybrid-mutual-funds\/\">Hybrid Fund<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 This fund invests in both debt and equity. The portfolio of hybrid funds will have some allocation to debt to deliver stable and predictable returns, along with some equity allocation to achieve capital appreciation.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Money Market Fund<\/strong> \u2013 This type of mutual fund invests in low-risk money market instruments, such as treasury bills and commercial paper, with maturities less than a year.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-overview-of-portfolio-management-services\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Overview_of_Portfolio_Management_Services\"><\/span>Overview of Portfolio Management Services<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Financial institutions offer <a href=\"https:\/\/wp-api.pocketful.in\/blog\/explainer-on-portfolio-management-services-pms-features-types-charges-taxation-and-risks\/\">portfolio management services or PMS<\/a>. Investors may purchase this product, and a group of experienced fund managers will use their expertise to determine which asset classes to invest in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Individuals typically set aside a percentage of their capital for investments, but if they don\u2019t have the investing knowledge, they may not be able to invest it properly. Such investors can invest in portfolio management services (PMS) companies. Investment professionals manage the portfolio according to the client\u2019s risk profile, investment objectives, and preferences. In exchange for these services, investment managers charge fees.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Types of portfolio management services are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Discretionary PMS<\/strong>\u2013 Under this category of portfolio management services, the portfolio managers make all investment-related decisions on behalf of the client. Fund managers are not required to consult with investors before making investment decisions. Most customers select this kind of service.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Non-discretionary PMS<\/strong>\u2013 In this type of service, the fund manager needs the client\u2019s approval before investing. The investment team of PMS provides financial advice to the client, who ultimately chooses whether or not to take it.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-difference-between-mutual-funds-and-pms-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Difference_Between_Mutual_Funds_and_PMS\"><\/span>Difference Between Mutual Funds and PMS&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table has-small-font-size\"><table><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Particular<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Mutual Fund<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">PMS<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Minimum Investment Amount<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">In mutual funds, the minimum investment amount starts from INR 100.<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">As per SEBI, a minimum investment amount of INR 50 Lakhs is required for PMS.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Customisation<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">A mutual fund does not allow investors to customize their portfolios.<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">PMS allows investors to customize portfolios according to their preferences.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Ownership of Assets<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Investors don\u2019t directly own underlying assets.<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">The investor has direct ownership of underlying securities.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Charges<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Mutual funds have nominal fees compared to PMS, which generally have higher fees.<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">PMS has higher fees than mutual funds.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Risk<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Mutual funds are suitable for investors with low-risk profiles.<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">It is typically ideal for high-risk investors.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Transparency<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">In mutual funds, investors can only track the performance of funds.<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Investors of mutual funds can track and view every trade made in their accounts.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-factors-to-consider-before-investing-in-mutual-funds-and-pms\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Factors_to_Consider_Before_Investing_in_Mutual_Funds_and_PMS\"><\/span>Factors to Consider Before Investing in Mutual Funds and PMS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"739\" src=\"https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Investing-in-Mutual-Funds-and-PMS.jpg\" alt=\"Investing in Mutual Funds and PMS\" class=\"wp-image-9957\" style=\"width:400px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Investing-in-Mutual-Funds-and-PMS-1024x739.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Investing-in-Mutual-Funds-and-PMS-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Investing-in-Mutual-Funds-and-PMS-768x554.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Investing-in-Mutual-Funds-and-PMS-150x108.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cms-resources.pocketful.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Investing-in-Mutual-Funds-and-PMS.jpg 1497w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The various factors to be considered before investing in mutual funds and PMS are as follows-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Risk Profile<\/strong> \u2013 The investor\u2019s risk tolerance will determine whether they choose a mutual fund or PMS as their investment option.
