ETMarkets PMS Talk | From mutual funds to PMS: Brijesh Ved on where PRIM fits in India's evolving wealth landscape
Economic Times 1 hr ago·28 Sept 2026, 3:22 am
India's wealth management sector is undergoing a significant shift with the introduction of SEBI's proposed Portfolio Manager for Retail Investors and Markets (PRIM) framework. This new regulation aims to bring greater transparency and standardization to the portfolio management services (PMS) space, potentially narrowing the gap between the convenience of mutual funds and the customized returns of PMS.
For investors, this development is crucial as it may offer a more regulated avenue for accessing high-net-worth strategies. The PRIM framework could make PMS more accessible to a wider retail audience by setting clearer guidelines on fees and disclosures. This evolution in the market structure is likely to enhance investor confidence and encourage more individuals to explore alternative wealth management options beyond traditional mutual funds.
Moving forward, investors should closely monitor how PRIM is implemented and how it impacts the fee structures of existing PMS firms. It will be important to see if this framework successfully attracts new capital into the PMS space while maintaining the personalized service that sets it apart from mutual funds. Keeping an eye on regulatory updates will be key for those looking to diversify their investment portfolios.
