PMS needs a minimum of Rs 50 lakh. Mutual fund SIPs start from small amounts. Advisory gives research, you place trades. DIY costs only brokerage but needs time and skill.<\/em><\/p>\n

Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

The difference in stock advisory vs PMS comes down to who makes the trade. In advisory you receive research and place the trades yourself, in a portfolio management service the manager trades your portfolio for you with a minimum investment of Rs 50 lakh, in mutual funds a fund manager pools small investments, and in DIY you do everything. Pick the route that matches your capital, your available time and how much control you want.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Choosing between stock advisory vs PMS is really a question about money, time and control. Four options sit on the table for an Indian investor: paid stock advisory, a portfolio management service, mutual funds and doing it all yourself. Each solves a different problem and suits a different person.<\/p>\n

This guide compares them on minimum amount, cost, control, effort and risk, so you can match the route to your situation instead of following whichever product was pitched to you last.<\/p>\n
