Quality board

Same compounding math, but we drop strategies whose best single month exceeded +35%. This surfaces strong multi-month runs without letting one outlier month set the table.

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

Methodology

  • Source: SEBI monthly PMS disclosures ingested into KnowYourPMS; 1M TWRR cells for 2025-042026-03.
  • Metric: Compounded monthly SEBI TWRR (1M) over the window.
  • Inclusion: Strategy must have a reported 1M return for all 12 months in the window.
  • Exclusions: Benchmark / index / CRISIL / T-bill and placeholder rows removed from rankings; no zeros invented for unfiled months.
  • As-of: Aug 2026. Universe median -1.45%; mean -1.18%; P90 +10.28%.

Full pipeline notes live on /methodology. We do not invent zeros for managers who did not file a given month.

FAQ

What does the FY 2025-26 report measure?
Compounded return over the twelve months April 2025 through March, using SEBI monthly 1M TWRR. Only strategies reporting all twelve months are ranked.
Why are some full-year returns negative?
FY 2025-26 had a median of -1.4%. Full financial years capture drawdowns as well as rallies, so a real spread of outcomes — including losses — is expected and useful.
Does the top rank mean it is the best PMS?
Not on its own. Full-year winners can be high-beta strategies that also fall hardest in bad years. Compare across the 3-year and all-time boards and check drawdowns before drawing conclusions.
Is this investment advice?
No. KnowYourPMS publishes independent, SEBI-sourced research with no recommendations or commissions.
