Portfolio Management Services (PMS) vs Equity Mutual Funds (MF) – Detailed Score Card (Data as of 30.04.2026)

From the above results, investing in PMSs has created more wealth for investors than investing in MFs.

This was simple. The difficult task starts from here on. And that is –

• How to select the potential Best 5 Portfolios for different periods of 3 to 5 years of future investments?
• How to have the conviction to hold the best ones for the longer term?

And this is best endeavoured by our Analytics & Content backed approach..

Our proprietary analysis & content helps tackle the above 2 tasks. We are very selective, and we analyse PMS products across the 5 Ps – People, Philosophy, Performance, Portfolio, and Price with an aim to ascertain the Quality, Risk, and Consistency (QRC) attributes before suggesting the same to investors.

Holding on to the good equity investments requires high conviction in the portfolio at all points of time, else, one tends to exit early owing to the traps of emotions or impatience. With our proprietary content via fund manager videos, newsletters, and articles, we keep our clients updated, and this ensures our clients always make informed decisions.

We offer responsible, long-term quality investing. Our Philosophy is simple, but not easy –

Quality + High Conviction = Compounding.

This analytics is an endeavour to compare MFs and PMSs objectively.
