The products of the Portfolio Management System have always suffered from a lack of standardization, Reporting format, and lack of transparency and other charges levied. The working group of SEBI has proposed PMS regulations on the PMS distributor. The primary objective of the recommendation is to eliminate the effect of extraneous events like deposits and withdrawals.
