All-Time Indian PMS Leaders (Feb 2021 – Aug 2026)
The survivors. Only 180 strategies carry a continuous SEBI track record across the full Feb 2021 – Aug 2026 span in our dataset, and this board ranks them by compounded wealth creation (median +15.8% a year). Read it with survivorship in mind: strategies that closed or stopped reporting never make this list.

Same compounding, but we drop strategies whose best single month exceeded +45% — surfacing durable multi-year runs over one explosive month.

Consistency board
Positive in every month of the window, ranked by CAGR. Useful when avoiding down months matters — still not a substitute for multi-year rolling returns or drawdown rankings.

FAQ
- What does the all-time board measure?
- Compounded return over the longest continuous window in our data (Feb 2021 – Aug 2026), annualized to a CAGR. Only strategies reporting every month across that span are ranked.
- What is survivorship bias and why does it matter here?
- Strategies that shut down or stopped filing disappear from the data, so an all-time list flatters the survivors. Treat it as "who lasted and compounded", not "who was safest".
- Why so few strategies?
- A continuous multi-year SEBI record is rare — many strategies launched recently or have reporting gaps. Requiring the full window keeps every strategy on the same clock.
- Is this investment advice?
- No. It is independent, SEBI-sourced research with no recommendations or commissions.
