Domestic Offerings FAQs

We offer a variety of fee structures to cater to different investment preferences. Our available fee options include:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.

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.
