Under the SEBI (Portfolio Managers) Regulations, what is the minimum investment amount a client must bring to a portfolio manager for a PMS account (other than accredited investors' special arrangements)?

The minimum investment per client with a portfolio manager is Rs 50 lakh, which may be brought in as cash, securities, or a combination of both. Accredited investors may be offered different arrangements, but the general threshold under SEBI rules is Rs 50 lakh.

Explanation

SEBI prescribes a minimum investment of Rs 50 lakh per client with a portfolio manager, either in funds or securities or both. Lower figures such as Rs 25 lakh were never the PMS threshold, and Rs 1 crore is not the requirement.
