Decoding – PMS VS AIF

PMS offers personalised, tax-efficient equity strategies with direct stock ownership and real-time transparency, positioned for goal-driven high-net-worth investors.

Key insights

  1. PMS and AIFs both serve high-net-worth investors but differ in structure, flexibility and approach.
  2. A PMS portfolio is managed separately and curated to the investor’s risk appetite, financial goals and market view.
  3. PMS offers complete transparency, investors can view holdings and track performance in real time.
  4. PMS provides direct stock ownership, better tax efficiency and greater control over investments.
  5. AIFs pool capital from multiple investors to invest in unlisted securities, real estate or hedge strategies, suited to diversification into non-traditional assets.
  6. For goal-driven, equity-focused investors who value personalisation and direct ownership, PMS is the smarter choice.
  7. Care PMS cites a track record of 21.7% CAGR over 14 years and 35% CAGR over the last five years.
