  • A single PMS strategy helps avoid common pitfalls like portfolio mirroring and over-diversification.
  • Investment decisions are based on independent and primary research, not consensus or secondary data.
  • PE and VC firms typically face higher risks of underperformance and limited exit options.

Over 3 years, small-cap PMS strategies outperformed mutual funds by 91%, compared to mutual funds’ 41% (PMSBazaar).
