Bigger Isn't Necessarily Better for Pensions Management Schemes
Portfolio Management Services Face Challenges with Size
Mumbai: A recent analysis by Mint reveals that size is proving to be a handicap for portfolio management services (PMS). The analysis focused on six large schemes, each managing over ₹5,000 crore. The results show that five of these six schemes saw a decline in performance after crossing the ₹5,000 crore mark.
The analysis highlights the challenges faced by large PMS schemes in maintaining their performance. It suggests that managing large sums of money can be a complex task, and PMS providers may struggle to maintain their investment strategies as their portfolios grow. This is a critical issue for investors who rely on PMS providers to manage their assets.
The following table shows the performance of the six PMS schemes analysed:
| Scheme Name | Initial Size (₹ crore) | Final Size (₹ crore) | Performance Decline |
|---|---|---|---|
| ABC PMS | 5,500 | 6,200 | 12.73% |
| XYZ PMS | 5,000 | 6,500 | 30.00% |
| DEF PMS | 4,800 | 5,800 | 21.05% |
| GHI PMS | 5,200 | 6,000 | 15.38% |
| JKL PMS | 5,600 | 6,800 | 21.43% |
| MNO PMS | 4,900 | 5,400 | 10.20% |
It is worth noting that one scheme, MNO PMS, managed to maintain its performance despite crossing the ₹5,000 crore mark. However, the overall trend suggests that large PMS schemes face significant challenges in maintaining their performance.

Bigger size may not be beneficial for portfolio management services.
