Analysis
PMS advantages over MF: Customisation, can exclude sectors, exclude specific stocks (e.g. conflict of interest), concentrated bets. Transparency, you see every holding. No pool effects, your exits don't trigger redemptions for others. MF advantages over PMS: Tax deferral on unrealised gains. No capital gains until redemption. SIP discipline. Lower minimum. Better for HNI building toward ₹50L threshold.
