How Portfolio Managers relate their services with current rise in NEPSE?

Portfolio Management Services is a portfolio of securities — equity, debt or other instruments — held in client’s name but managed by a professional manager with specific investment objectives drawn in line with client’s risk appetite and return expectations.

Portfolio Management Service is a totally new concept in Nepalese investment market. Slowly people are realizing the importance of having dedicated Portfolio Manager. This not only helps them plan their investment properly, but also saves their time and helps them focus on their own job or business.

Any rise in NEPSE index increases investor awareness about the Portfolio Management Services. It makes them realize at least we have dedicated team of people who completely focuses on the same every day which ultimately helps them increase the value of their investment.

We mainly have people who are from various professions and have already made some investment in Nepalese stock market but don’t have much time to follow their investment or who had interest to make some investments but never knew how and when to enter the market

The rise in NEPSE has obviously increased attraction of investors toward portfolio management services but now the investors are more mature than they were back in 2008 when NPESE reached its all time high level of 1175 points.

Now the investors are more study oriented. We do have new investors who are interested in knowing about portfolio management services and then investing in them.

Portfolio Management services is more about educating people about the benefit of having such service so there is not much effect seen in the portfolio management services by the growth in NEPSE index.

We have both old investors and new investors utilizing our portfolio management services.

Investors want returns.  At present investing in stock market seems to be providing high returns than investing in any other sectors so investors are definitely interested towards investing in stock market.

Portfolio Management Services is a product for those people who either don’t have knowledge about stock market or doesn’t have enough time to invest in stock market. Our targeted clients are the same.
