The Problem

Why Existing Approaches Fall Short

Manual processes, fragmented tools, and legacy systems create compounding inefficiencies that limit speed, accuracy, and risk visibility.

Client-Level Portfolio Tracking is Operationally Intensive
PMS firms manage hundreds or thousands of individual client portfolios — each with unique mandates, entry points, and fee structures. Manual tracking is unscalable and error-prone.
SEBI Compliance Reporting is Complex and Frequent
PMS regulations require regular client disclosures, performance reporting, concentration limit monitoring, and SEBI submissions — creating significant compliance burden on small operations teams.
Performance Attribution is Manual and Time-Consuming
Accurate TWRR/MWRR performance measurement, benchmark comparison, and attribution analysis is done manually in Excel — consuming hours of analyst time each month.
Fee Calculation Errors Damage Client Trust
Performance fee calculations involving hurdle rates, high watermarks, and management fee accruals are complex and error-prone when done manually — leading to reconciliation issues and client disputes.
PMS Operations Challenges Today
Manual client-level portfolio tracking across spreadsheets
SEBI compliance reports generated manually and error-prone
TWRR/MWRR performance calculation done in Excel
Fee calculation errors from manual watermark tracking
No systematic concentration limit monitoring
Client reporting takes days instead of hours

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Is GENESIS specifically designed for SEBI-registered PMS providers?

Yes. GENESIS's PMS module is built specifically for SEBI PMS regulations — covering minimum investment thresholds, concentration limits, performance reporting methodology (TWRR/MWRR), mandatory client disclosures, and SEBI PMS reporting formats. The compliance module is continuously updated as SEBI guidelines evolve.

How does GENESIS handle client portfolios with different entry dates?

GENESIS tracks each client account independently from inception — including their specific entry NAV, initial allocation, and subsequent transaction history. Performance calculations and fee computations are done individually from each client's inception date, even within the same strategy.

Can GENESIS support both discretionary and non-discretionary PMS?

Yes. GENESIS supports discretionary PMS (where the fund manager decides all trades), non-discretionary PMS (where client approval is required), and advisory mandates. Workflow configurations differ for each type, including trade authorization processes and client communication requirements.

How does the performance fee high watermark work in GENESIS?

GENESIS maintains individual high watermarks for each client account. When portfolio value exceeds the high watermark, performance fee is calculated on the excess gain above the hurdle rate. GENESIS tracks watermark history, computes fee accruals each month, and crystallizes fees at billing periods — with full audit trails for each calculation.

How does GENESIS handle corporate actions across client portfolios?

GENESIS processes corporate actions (dividends, bonuses, splits, rights) automatically across all client portfolios holding the affected security. Corporate action entries are auto-generated, validated, and posted to each affected account — with configurable rules for rights issue participation and dividend reinvestment.

What custodian and broker integrations does GENESIS support?

GENESIS integrates with major Indian custodians (SHCIL, Orbis, HDFC Bank, Kotak), depositories (CDSL, NSDL), and brokers via standard data feeds (FTP, API, SFTP). Automated trade confirmation matching, holding reconciliation, and cash management are available for integrated entities.
