SEBI Portfolio Manager Monthly Report data: what it contains and how to collect it.
Every registered portfolio manager’s monthly figures are public. Collecting all of them, every month, is the hard part.
The SEBI Portfolio Manager Monthly Report data is published on SEBI’s portal for each registered portfolio manager. Research and product teams use it to follow the industry: who is growing, in which services, with which client types.
What the data covers
| Section | What it tells a research team |
|---|---|
| AUM by service | Size and mix across discretionary, non-discretionary and advisory |
| Clients by category | Who the manager serves |
| Inflows and outflows | Flows over the month |
| Turnover and transactions | Activity in the portfolios |
| Schemes | The strategies offered |
| Complaints | Complaints received and resolved |
Why collecting it is hard
- Each manager has several sub-reports, viewed one page at a time.
- The full list of managers is long, so teams often track only the names they know.
- Tables use merged cells and text-formatted numbers that need cleaning before analysis.
- Each month overwrites the view; history must be kept by the team itself.
A reliable collection process
- Collect every manager, not a shortlist, so the competitive view is complete.
- Mark managers with no data filed as “no data”, not zero.
- Store numbers as numbers and match managers by registration number, not by name.
- Reconcile counts against the source before using the data.
- Keep each month as a dated version, so trends are a filter, not a project.
- Record the source and fetch time on every row.
How Terminal X does it
Terminal X runs data agents on public market and regulatory sources for portfolio managers, brokers and research desks. Four standard agents cover the SEBI Portfolio Manager Monthly Report for every registered portfolio manager, PMS strategy performance from APMI against Nifty 50 or Nifty 500, NSE ETF liquidity, and Nifty strategy-index constituents. Each agent works the portal in a real browser with parallel windows, extracts every row and sub-report, turns text like “12.4%”, “(3.2)” and “--” into numbers or blanks, matches names by registration number or ISIN, reconciles counts, marks empty filings as “no data” rather than zero and compares each run with the last. Every record keeps its source, fetch time, run and previous version; layout changes at the source are reported, not swallowed. Results arrive as the same Excel export every time, a REST API and alerts on new data, and other sources can be added as custom agents.

Questions
What is in the SEBI Portfolio Manager Monthly Report?
For each registered portfolio manager: AUM by service, clients by category, inflows and outflows, turnover, transactions, schemes and complaints.
Why do research teams track only some portfolio managers?
Because collecting every manager’s sub-reports by hand each month takes too long, so teams settle for a shortlist.
How should missing filings be recorded?
As “no data filed”, not as zero, so averages and totals are not distorted.
