Understanding Green Portfolio's PMS Pricing Structures: A Comprehensive Guide

Friday, Jan 2, 2026

At Green Portfolio, we believe in transparency and flexibility when it comes to investment management fees. Our Portfolio Management Services (PMS) offerings come with three distinct pricing models designed to cater to different investor preferences and investment objectives. Whether you prefer a fixed management fee approach, are comfortable with performance-based compensation, or seek a balanced hybrid model, we have a structure tailored for you.

Important Note: The pricing structures detailed below are applicable for direct channel investments only. Pricing may differ for investments made through distributor channels. We encourage you to reach out to our team for specific pricing information if you're investing through a distributor partner.

The Three Pricing Structures

1. Fixed Fee Structure - Predictability and Simplicity

The Fixed Fee structure is ideal for investors who prefer predictable and transparent cost management without performance-based variations.

Fee Breakdown:

Fixed Management Fee Based on AUM: 2.25% p.a. (charged quarterly)
Performance Fee: NIL (No additional performance charges)

Key Advantages:

Completely predictable fee structure - you know exactly what you'll pay annually
No surprises based on market performance
Simplified cost calculation and budgeting
Perfect for investors who want straightforward fee transparency

Ideal For: Conservative investors who value fee predictability and prefer to pay a fixed percentage of their assets under management regardless of portfolio performance.

2. Performance Fee Structure - Rewarding Excellence

The Performance Fee structure aligns our success with yours, ensuring that we are motivated to deliver exceptional returns above the hurdle rate.

Fee Breakdown:

Performance Fee: 20% over 8% Hurdle (charged at the end of each financial year)
Fixed Management Fee Based on AUM: NIL (No base management fee)

How It Works:

We only charge a performance fee when your portfolio generates returns exceeding 8% per annum
When returns exceed the 8% hurdle rate, we charge 20% of the excess returns
We employ a high watermark mechanism, meaning performance fees are calculated only on new profits above the previous peak portfolio value
This ensures you never pay performance fees on the same gains twice

Key Advantages:

Alignment of interests - our success depends directly on your investment returns
No base management fee means lower costs in underperforming periods
Ideal for long-term wealth creation with emphasis on capital appreciation
The 8% hurdle rate is designed as a reasonable benchmark for equity market performance

Ideal For: Growth-oriented investors with a longer investment horizon who believe in rewarding fund managers for outperformance and prefer a performance-driven fee model.

3. Hybrid Structure - The Best of Both Worlds

The Hybrid structure represents a balanced approach, combining elements of both fixed management fees and performance-based compensation.

Fee Breakdown:

Fixed Management Fee Based on AUM: 1.25% p.a. (charged quarterly)
Performance Fee: 15% over 10% Hurdle (charged at the end of each financial year)

How It Works:

You pay a lower base management fee of 1.25% on your total assets under management
Additionally, when portfolio returns exceed 10% per annum, we charge 15% of the excess returns as performance fees
Similar to the Performance Fee structure, high watermark principles apply to performance fee calculations

Key Advantages:

Balanced fee structure offering both stability and performance incentive
Lower base management fee (1.25%) provides cost savings
Performance fee component ensures alignment with your investment success
Higher hurdle rate (10%) reflects confidence in aggressive wealth creation
Provides investor protection through consistent base fee while rewarding outperformance

Ideal For: Sophisticated investors seeking a balanced approach between cost predictability and performance-driven incentives, with a focus on substantial capital appreciation.
