Frequently Asked Questions

As per SEBI regulations, the minimum acceptable investment in a PMS strategy is Rs 50,00,000/-.

Only mature investors who meet the minimum ticket size requirement of Rs 50,00,000/- and who are willing to stay invested for at least 5 years.

An investor can invest in our PMS scheme by way of cheque or bank transfer. Though shares can also be transferred to the PMS, it’s a relatively cumbersome process.

Counter Cyclical PMS is a purely discretionary PMS, wherein all investment decisions are taken solely by our fund management team & the investor has no say in which stocks or sectors we should buy, hold or sell.

Apart from the inherent market risk, there is an additional liquidity risk in Counter Cyclical PMS, since we are predominantly in the small cap space where liquidity is thin.

During market crashes, most buyers get out of the market & only compulsive sellers remain. During such crashes (like March 2020) if an investor wants to withdraw his funds from our PMS, we might end up sitting at the lower circuit everyday & our own selling might further pull down our portfolio.

Hence, only long term, experienced & mature investors should invest in our PMS.

Our PMS is ideal for long term endeavors like retirement savings, children’s education & marriage etc.

Please don’t invest your rainy day funds in our PMS.

Please don’t invest in our PMS if you can’t digest volatility or lack the fortitude to ride through periodic market crashes.

Yes, post your initial investment, we accept additional top-up with no minimum acceptance amount. But any amounts invested should be for a minimum duration of 5 years.

Yes, NRIs can invest in our PMS strategy but only through a NRO account. We don’t accept NRE accounts since the order placement process for NRE accounts is very cumbersome.

Gains within the fund in an investor’s demat account will be taxed the same way as that of an investor directly buying or selling stocks. Short term capital gains (<1 year) on equity are taxed at 15% plus surcharges and long term capital gains are at 10% plus surcharges.

Yes, post account opening, every investor in our PMS will receive his User ID & password with which he can login to Orbis website anytime & see his complete portfolio with full details of his holdings, purchase price, CMP, realized & unrealised gain/loss, etc.

Every investor will also receive a monthly report on his registered email, with full details of his holdings, purchase price, CMP, realized & unrealised gain/loss, etc.

We have minimal investor communication. We are not in education business & we don’t write any newsletters.

We don’t know where the market is going or how much more it will fall or when it will stop falling etc. We appreciate investors who don’t call us frequently.

We have no provision for any relationship manager.

Whatever we need to tell the investor, we brief them before account opening. Thereafter, we let our returns speak. We have nothing more to tell our investors. Since we don’t charge any upfront management fee, we need to keep our overheads to the minimum. Please don’t call us unnecessarily.

Please don’t invest in Counter Cyclical PMS if you expect regular interaction.

Usually PMS’ charge a fixed management fee of ~ 2% on the total AUM & a performance fee based on the returns generated for the investor or a combination of both. However, we do not charge any upfront fixed management fee, but only a performance fee.
