Many steps have been taken by the government, as a result of which the investment culture in the country is also changing. Now people are not stuck in just shares and fixed deposits. Now people are also adopting new paths. Where earlier people used to invest money in shares, FD or mutual funds. Now there are new options like PMS and AIF, which are being liked by the people. As a result, the money deposited in these two (PMS and AIF) has increased to more than Rs 23 lakh crore by September 2025, which was Rs 1.54 lakh crore in September 2015. That means there has been a mountain-like increase in investment in the last 10 years.

What is PMS and AIF

1. PMS means Portfolio Management Service, in this your money is handled by an experienced manager, who tries to increase profits by investing your money in different places.
2. AIF means Alternative Investment Fund, people and institutions together invest a big fund in it. Apart from shares, they invest in startups, companies, real estate, private equity etc.

How has there been change in 10 years?

Earlier, the number of people who trusted these platforms was very less. Due to changing times and awareness, now people, business owners, startup founders and even small town investors are joining it. An important reason for this is that along with the expectation of higher earnings, new types of investment opportunities are now available.

Increase in investment tells the story

• The total amount of PMS in 2015 was Rs 1.27 lakh crore, which has increased to Rs 8.37 lakh crore in 2025. If we look at this increase in percentage, it is about 7 times.
• Similarly, the amount in AIF was Rs 27 thousand 484 crore in 2015, which will reach Rs 15.05 lakh crore in 2025. This shows that big investors are liking AIF very much.

Experts say that the number of rich people in the country is increasing. These people do not just want normal investments but want such plans where the earnings are better. They are getting this opportunity from PMS and AIF. Along with this, new investors are increasing in the country. They are also moving from big cities to small cities, that is why this market is growing rapidly.
