Domestic Offerings FAQs
Welcome to our FAQ page! Here, you’ll find answers to common questions and helpful information to guide you through our services and processes. If you don’t find the answer you're looking for, please feel free to reach out to us directly.
General Information
PMS (Portfolio Management Services) is a specialized investment service where a professional portfolio manager manages a portfolio of stocks, bonds, or other securities on behalf of investors. The portfolio manager selects and tracks investments according to specific mandates and strategies to optimize returns.
An Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) is a privately pooled investment vehicle that collects funds from investors to invest in assets beyond traditional stocks, bonds, and cash. AIFs include hedge funds, private equity, venture capital, real estate funds, and other specialized investment strategies.
Portfolio Management Services (PMS) and Alternative Investment Funds (AIF) represent two distinct investment approaches.
PMS offers a personalized investment portfolio managed exclusively for you, with securities held in your own demat account, ensuring direct ownership and transparency.
In contrast, Alternative Investment Funds (AIF) operate as pooled investment vehicles where multiple investors' capital is combined into a single fund. This collective approach allows investors to access sophisticated alternative investments and strategies that might otherwise be difficult to participate in individually. The fund manager makes investment decisions for the entire pool of assets according to a predetermined strategy.
PMS and AIFs offer professional management with deep market expertise, potentially leading to enhanced returns. These investment vehicles use specialized strategies like long-short equity, private equity, and concentrated portfolios to generate returns in various market conditions. They also provide effective diversification across asset classes, helping reduce risk and improve risk-adjusted returns.
Portfolio Management Services (PMS) and Alternative Investment Funds (AIF) are designed for sophisticated investors with substantial capital. PMS is tailored for high-net-worth individuals, requiring a minimum investment of ₹50 lakhs. This threshold ensures investors have the financial capacity to absorb market fluctuations while benefiting from personalized portfolio management.
AIFs, on the other hand, cater to ultra-high-net-worth individuals and institutional investors, with entry tickets typically starting at ₹1 crore or higher, varying by fund category.
Investment Strategies & Risk
SageOne offers Discretionary Portfolio Management Services (PMS), where investment decisions are made by expert fund managers on behalf of clients. Our PMS strategies include:
- SageOne Core Portfolio: A long‑only equity strategy investing in 15–20 mid/small‑cap companies (101st–600th by market cap). It targets quality firms with 20%+ earnings growth potential, capturing value from emerging leaders with proven scalable models & strong competitive advantages.
- SageOne Smallcap Portfolio: A long-only equity strategy targets 15-20 high-growth, undervalued companies ranked 400th-1000th by market cap. The strategy focuses on businesses with 25%+ compounded earnings growth, innovative models, and strong management poised for expansion.
- SageOne Large & Midcap Portfolio: An actively managed equity portfolio designed to capture the best of both worlds: the stability of large-cap companies and the growth potential of mid-cap firms. The strategy invests in 18–25 high-quality companies from the top 200, targeting 18–20% earnings growth. Its objective: double the portfolio in 4.5 years while generating 3–5% alpha over Nifty 50 post fees.
The risk profile of our PMS strategies and Domestic AIF ranges from low-moderate to high, primarily depending on the market capitalization of the stocks they are exposed to. Investments in these strategies involve exposure to Indian equity markets, which are inherently volatile and subject to significant fluctuations. Our strategies focusing on mid- and small-cap stocks typically carry higher risk compared to those with a larger-cap focus. However, our experienced team utilizes professional management and diversification strategies to help optimize risk-adjusted returns. As such, investors should be prepared for market volatility and possess a higher risk tolerance when investing in these strategies.

Are SageOne Investment Managers strategies suitable for long-term or short-term investment horizons?
Our strategies are primarily designed for long-term investment horizons, typically ranging from 3 to 5 years. This longer-term approach enables investors to benefit from a more patient and strategic investment strategy, allowing portfolios to withstand short-term market fluctuations. While we focus on long-term growth, our strategies are built to adapt to market conditions and deliver sustainable value over time.
Our strategies are best suited for:
- Investors with a strong understanding of and comfort with equity market dynamics, including the inherent risks and potential rewards.
- Those with a long-term investment perspective, recognizing that market fluctuations are part of the investment journey.
- Individuals who prefer to entrust their investment decisions to experienced professionals with deep industry knowledge and expertise.
- High-net-worth individuals seeking professional portfolio management
- Investors familiar with the complexities of Portfolio Management Services (PMS) and Domestic Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs).
We typically recommend an investment horizon of 3-5 years or longer for our investment strategies. This timeframe serves two important purposes: First, it allows sufficient time for your capital to potentially grow through compound returns and appreciation. Second, a longer horizon helps protect your investment from short-term market volatility, as it gives your portfolio time to recover from any temporary market downturns.
The portfolio churn rate in SageOne's investment strategies varies depending on several factors, including market conditions and the specific investment objectives of each strategy.
While our primary focus is on long-term growth, we may adjust portfolio holdings periodically to optimize performance and adapt to changing market dynamics. This typically occurs on a quarterly or semi-annual basis, but the exact timing may be adjusted based on individual portfolio needs.

Eligibility & Requirements
Both resident Indians and Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) are eligible to invest in our investment strategies, as long as they fulfill the regulatory requirements established by SEBI.
Yes, there is a minimum investment requirement as per regulatory guidelines. Under SEBI norms, the minimum investment in a Portfolio Management Service (PMS) scheme is ₹50 Lakhs for fresh investments. At SageOne Investment Managers, the minimum investment for each of our specific strategies is as follows:
- SageOne Core Portfolio (SCP): ₹2 Crore
- SageOne Small Cap Portfolio (SSP): ₹2 Crore
- SageOne Large Cap & Mid Cap Portfolio (SLMP): ₹50 Lakhs
For our Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs), the statutory minimum investment size is ₹1 Crore. Specifically, for the SageOne India Growth Open-Ended Fund (Domestic Category III AIF), the minimum investment requirement is ₹1 Crore.
Required documents generally include KYC documents (PAN card, Aadhaar, address proof), bank statements, income proof, and a signed investment agreement. Additional documents may be required based on investor category (e.g., company registration documents for corporate investors) and the specific PMS or AIF's requirements as per SEBI guidelines.
Yes, NRIs can invest in our investment strategies, though there are specific regulations and requirements for each:
For Portfolio Management Services (PMS):
- NRIs can invest through their Non-Resident Ordinary (NRO) or Non-Resident External (NRE) accounts
- A Portfolio Investment Scheme (PIS) account is mandatory for PMS investments
- All investments must comply with Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) regulations and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines
For Domestic AIF investments:
- NRIs can invest only through their NRO accounts
- No Portfolio Investment Scheme (PIS) account is required
- Residents of the United States and Canada are currently restricted from investing
- All investments must adhere to FEMA regulations and RBI guidelines
A Portfolio Investment Scheme (PIS) account is a bank account that allows Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) to buy and sell shares and debentures of Indian companies.
It allows Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) to invest in Indian equity markets in a regulated and transparent manner. The PIS account is linked to an NRI’s bank account and facilitates investments in shares and other securities on recognized stock exchanges in India.
To open a PIS account, an NRI must meet certain eligibility criteria, such as holding an NRE (Non-Resident External) or NRO (Non-Resident Ordinary) account with a designated bank that offers the service. This account is subject to regulatory guidelines set by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).
The PIS account is an essential tool for NRIs and FPIs who seek to participate in the Indian stock market, ensuring compliance with Indian regulations while making it easier to manage their investments.
Investment Process
To begin investing in PMS (Portfolio Management Services) or Domestic AIF (Alternative Investment Funds), you must first open an account with a registered PMS or AIF provider. The process involves submitting KYC (Know Your Customer) documents and providing your financial details. Once your account is approved, you can proceed with your investment.
For PMS, the process involves selecting an appropriate strategy, completing KYC verification, signing the necessary agreements, and transferring funds. A separate demat account is then opened, and the portfolio manager invests according to the agreed-upon strategy, providing regular performance updates.
In the case of Domestic AIF investments, the process begins by selecting a fund that aligns with your investment goals and risk profile. You’ll need to complete subscription documents and make a capital commitment. Funds are drawn down as per the AIF's investment schedule, with returns distributed according to the fund's structure.
The activation of PMS/ Domestic AIF investments typically takes between 7 to 14 working days. This includes the time for KYC verification, signing agreements, transferring funds, and setting up your account. The actual timeline may vary depending on the investment manager and regulatory requirements.
Yes, you can invest in multiple PMS or AIF schemes, provided you meet the minimum investment criteria for each scheme, allowing you to diversify your investments across different strategies.
Yes, your portfolio will be managed according to a model portfolio approach, which means it will mirror the structure of existing client portfolios. At SageOne Investment Managers, we follow this approach to ensure consistency and strategic alignment.

We offer a variety of fee structures to cater to different investment preferences. Our available fee options include:
- Fixed Fee Structure: This option involves a flat management fee, which is agreed upon with the client, and is charged based on the capital contributed to the portfolio.
- Hybrid Fee Structure: This structure combines a flat management fee with a performance fee. The performance fee is calculated as a pre-agreed proportion of the profits earned beyond a predetermined threshold return.
- Variable Fee Structure: In this structure, only a performance fee is applied, and it is based on the returns generated by the portfolio, without any flat management fee.
Please note that the specific fee structure may vary depending on the chosen investment strategy and the amount invested. For a detailed breakdown of the fees applicable to your chosen portfolio, or if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at ir@sageoneinvestments.com.

Yes, both PMS and Domestic AIF of SageOne Investment Managers have a fee structure where they charge performance-linked fees. These fees are calculated as a percentage of profits that exceed a pre-defined benchmark or hurdle rate, motivating fund managers to deliver superior returns.
In addition to the standard investment fees, there are other charges that may apply, including GST and any statutory levies mandated by regulatory authorities. Additionally, an exit load may be applicable, which typically ranges from 1% to 3%. The specific exit load percentage depends on factors like the duration of your investment and the particular investment strategy chosen.
For a detailed breakdown of these charges specific to your investment, please feel free to contact us at ir@sageoneinvestments.com
The Management Fee, which forms part of the fixed fee component, is charged quarterly, along with applicable GST and any statutory levies.
The Performance Fee, representing the variable fee component, is assessed and charged annually, on March 31st each year.
When determining the fee slabs, capital contributions across all Portfolio Management Service (PMS) strategies and Domestic Alternative Investment Funds (AIF) are taken into account.
Yes, there are income tax implications for both PMS and Domestic AIFinvestments.
– PMS Taxation
The tax implications of investing in PMS depend on how you choose to classify the investment. If you classify it as a business activity, the income tax implications and allowable deductions are different. However, if you classify it as an investment activity, you will be taxed on capital gains as follows:
- Short-term capital gains are taxed at 20%.
- Long-term capital gains exceeding ₹1.25 lakh are taxed at 12.5% along with additional applicable surcharge and cess.
– Domestic AIF Taxation
Category III AIFs are taxed at the fund level. This means that all the applicable taxes on the gains and other income are paid by the fund before it distributes the profits to the investors/contributors of the Fund. The tax rate applied to the Fund's gains will vary based on the nature of the income generated, such as short-term capital gains, long-term capital gains, dividend income, or interest income, each of which is subject to different tax treatments.
As a result, investors generally receive post-tax distributions from the AIF and typically do not incur additional income tax obligations in India on these distributions.
However, investors may be subject to tax liabilities based on their country of residence or tax domicile. The tax treatment of distributions from the fund can vary depending on several factors, including:
- The tax laws and regulations of the investor's country of residence
- Existing double taxation avoidance agreements (DTAAs) between the investor's country and India
- Their personal tax status and circumstances in their jurisdiction
- Nature of the income (whether classified as Business Income, investment income, capital gains, or other categories in their jurisdiction)
Investors are strongly encouraged to consult with qualified tax advisors in their respective jurisdiction to understand their jurisdiction specific tax obligations and reporting requirements related to their investment.
Our fee structures are designed to be transparent and competitive. While we typically adhere to our standard rates, we understand that investment needs can vary. For selective investors, we may be able to offer some flexibility on fees based on the size and complexity of your investment portfolio or your chosen investment strategy. In such cases, we are open to discussing customized fee arrangements. For more information about SageOne’s fee structure and the potential for customization, please reach out to us at ir@sageoneinvestments.com.
Yes, we apply an exit load, or early withdrawal fee, for investors who withdraw their investment before the specified holding period, typically ranging from 1 to 3 years. The fee generally falls between 1% and 3% of the withdrawn amount and is designed to encourage long-term investment.
For a detailed breakdown of our fee structure or to discuss specific terms, please reach out to us at ir@sageoneinvestments.com.
Performance & Reporting
While we cannot guarantee a specific rate of return, as per SEBI regulations, our primary goal is to build and sustain a portfolio that focuses on high-conviction growth opportunities. We aim to acquire these opportunities at prices below their intrinsic value, with the objective of consistently outperforming relevant benchmarks. Our strategy is designed to maximize potential returns by identifying and capitalizing on undervalued opportunities that offer long-term growth.
The performance of both Portfolio Management Services (PMS) and Alternative Investment Funds (AIF) is measured using the Time-Weighted Rate of Return (TWRR) method. This method employs daily valuation for rate of return calculation, ensuring portfolio validation on the date of any external cash flow, with daily weighted cash flows. Periodic returns are geometrically linked to provide an accurate representation of performance.
Total return includes both realized and unrealized gains, as well as income, and is calculated after the deduction of transaction charges. Trade date accounting is used for performance calculations, while accrual accounting is applied for fixed-income securities and dividends (as of the ex-dividend date). The market values of fixed-income securities also include accrued income.
At SageOne Investment Managers, we prioritize transparency and proactive communication. We ensure that our clients receive regular updates and important information related to their investments. The key communications you can expect include:
- Fund/Securities Transfer Notifications: Whenever you make a transfer to your PMS & AIF account, we will promptly notify you, ensuring you're always informed of any changes.
- Monthly Portfolio Reports: By the 5th working day of each month, we provide a comprehensive portfolio statement detailing your investments and their performance.
- Quarterly Advance Tax Data: To assist with your tax planning, we provide crucial information—such as capital gains, interest, and dividend details—by the 15th of each quarter-ending month. This data helps you stay prepared for advance tax payments.
- Annual Tax Filing Report: We deliver an audited report each May, containing all the necessary information for filing taxes in India. This includes details such as capital gains, interest, dividends, TDS, securities at cost, bank statements, broker ledgers, and more.
Through these regular and timely communications, we aim to keep you fully informed, ensuring a smooth and transparent investment experience.
You will receive detailed performance reports every month, which will be sent directly to your registered email address.
Yes, you can easily track your PMS (Portfolio Management Services) investments through our secure online portal. Once registered, you'll receive personalized login credentials, granting you 24/7 access to a comprehensive, real-time summary of your portfolio. However, please note that online tracking services are currently unavailable for Alternative Investment Funds (AIF).
In line with SEBI guidelines, we use the following benchmarks to assess the performance of our different strategies:
- SageOne Core Portfolio (SCP): BSE 500 TRI
- SageOne Small Cap Portfolio (SSP): BSE 500 TRI
- SageOne Large Cap & Mid Cap Portfolio (SLMP): BSE 500 TRI
- SageOne India Growth Open-Ended (OE) Fund (Domestic Category III AIF): BSE 500 TRI

For domestic AIF investments, redemptions are processed on two fixed dates each month:
- The 15th of each month (or the next business day if the 15th is a holiday)

You have the flexibility to opt for either full or partial redemption, subject to maintaining the minimum investment threshold. For example: If your current investment is ₹75 Lakhs and the strategy requires a minimum investment of ₹50 Lakhs

While there is no fixed lock-in period, investments and redemptions can be made on the 15th of each month (or the next business day if the 15th falls on a holiday) or the last working day of each month.

Regulation & Compliance
Yes, Portfolio Management Services (PMS) and domestic Alternative Investment Funds (AIF) operate under SEBI's regulatory oversight, governed by the SEBI Act, 1992. PMS is specifically regulated under SEBI (Portfolio Managers) Regulations, 2020, while AIFs fall under SEBI (Alternative Investment Funds) Regulations, 2012. These frameworks establish strict operational guidelines, including registration requirements, minimum investment thresholds, disclosure norms, and periodic reporting obligations. SEBI's supervision ensures investor protection through mandatory risk disclosures, professional management standards, and regular compliance monitoring. The regulations also define different categories of AIFs and their respective investment strategies.
Under the SEBI Act 1992 and SEBI (Portfolio Managers) Regulations 2020, SEBI serves as the primary regulator for Portfolio Management Services and Alternative Investment Funds in India. It establishes strict operational guidelines, mandates regular disclosures, and enforces investor protection measures through comprehensive frameworks. The regulatory body conducts periodic audits, monitors compliance with investment restrictions, and imposes penalties for violations. For AIFs, SEBI enforces the AIF Regulations 2012, ensuring fund managers maintain transparency, proper risk management, and ethical practices. This oversight helps safeguard investor interests and maintain market integrity.
If the regulatory landscape changes, PMS and Domestic AIF providers must adapt to comply with new SEBI regulations. This may involve modifying investment strategies, updating disclosure practices, or adjusting operational procedures. Investors will be informed of any significant changes, and fund managers will ensure a smooth transition to maintain compliance and protect investor interests.

You can contact our customer service team via email at cr@sageoneinvestments.com. Our team is available Monday to Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM IST.
While we do not assign a dedicated relationship manager to each investor, our knowledgeable and experienced customer support team is always available to assist you. They are well-equipped to address your questions, provide guidance, and ensure your concerns are resolved promptly and efficiently.
Your point of contact depends on how you invested with us. If you were introduced through a distributor, your primary relationship manager (RM) is at that introducing firm - they should be your first point of contact for any questions or concerns. Of course, you can always reach out to SageOne Investment Managers directly for additional support via cr@sageoneinvestments.com.
For direct clients who invested with us without an intermediary, our dedicated customer service team is here to help. They'll carefully assess your needs and work closely with you to provide appropriate solutions
Yes, you have the flexibility to modify your investment strategy at any time. This process will be treated as a switch between different SageOne PMS strategies, enabling you to adjust your portfolio to better align with your evolving preferences and goals. To request a change or customization, simply reach out to us at cr@sageoneinvestments.com, and our team will assist you with the transition.
Other Queries
Yes, you can nominate an individual of your choice for your PMS (Portfolio Management Services) or Domestic AIF(Alternative Investment Fund) account.
PMS and Domestic AIFcan be considered as potential investment options for retirement planning. However, it is recommended that you consult with a professional investment advisor to assess your individual financial goals and determine the most appropriate strategy.
Portfolio Management Services (PMS) and Mutual Funds are both investment avenues, but they differ significantly in their structure, operation, and level of personalization.
PMS offers a customized approach to investing. With PMS, your investments are managed as an individualized portfolio in your name, tailored to the specific strategy you select. The stocks purchased through PMS are directly credited to your demat account, giving you ownership and full transparency over the holdings.
In contrast, Mutual Funds operate on a collective investment model. They pool money from multiple investors and allocate it across a diversified portfolio of stocks and other securities. As an investor in a mutual fund, you don’t own the underlying stocks directly. Instead, you are allocated units of the fund, whose value is determined by the fund's Net Asset Value (NAV), which reflects the performance of its underlying assets.
In summary, PMS provides a personalized and direct investment experience, while mutual funds offer a more collective and diversified approach. The choice between the two depends on your investment goals, level of involvement, and risk tolerance.
