AssetsNest Investment Lab · AIF, PMS & Mutual Funds
Compare regulated Indian investment structures across access, ownership, liquidity, strategy flexibility, concentration, fees and due-diligence burden—without declaring a universal winner.
Interactive model
This explorer shows structural trade-offs. It does not recommend a product or infer suitability from investment amount alone.
Regulatory minimums are access thresholds, not recommended allocations. Exceptions and product-specific terms can apply.
Broad access and pooled implementation; category and portfolio risk still require evaluation.
Individual ownership can improve visibility, while concentration, manager and tax frictions may be higher.
Access to differentiated strategies comes with heavier manager, valuation and liquidity due diligence.
The entered amount meets the broad PMS threshold but not the general AIF minimum. That is an access observation, not a preference ranking. A stated monthly liquidity preference should be tested against the actual agreement and the liquidity of underlying holdings.
What this means
A mutual fund, PMS and AIF can all hold securities, but the legal wrapper changes pooling, ownership, minimum access, reporting, concentration and how the investor exits.
Calculation method
This is a rules-and-trade-offs explorer, not a performance forecast. It filters and explains structures from the investor characteristics entered.The comparator uses broad regulatory and structural features current at the review date. Individual products can impose higher minimums, longer lock-ups, narrower mandates or different fees. Always read the current offering and disclosure documents.
Results depend entirely on the values and scenarios entered. The model simplifies real legal, tax, liquidity, valuation and market conditions and should be used to understand relationships—not to predict an actual investment outcome.
Common mistakes
Ranking wrappers from recent returns alone.
Assuming the regulatory minimum is the recommended allocation.
Ignoring tax, fee and liquidity terms in the specific document.
Treating AIF, PMS or mutual fund as one uniform strategy.

Questions investors ask
SEBI's investor material states ₹50 lakh. A provider can set a higher operational threshold.
The general AIF threshold is ₹1 crore, subject to regulatory exceptions including certain employees, directors, accredited investors and specified social-impact structures.
There is no universal answer. The mandate, manager, fees, liquidity, tax position, concentration and investor circumstances matter.
