A smallcase is a basket of upto 50 stocks that is easy to buy, track & manage

There are over 20 smallcases created  by a certified research team that you can find in the Discover section. These smallcases are tied to different market themes, trending ideas or strategies that make it easier to take exposure to Indian stocks

However, investing in portfolios is a cumbersome process, involving at least 3 different portals, also the four steps involved take a lot of time, and clicks. More here

You can Create your own smallcase to help you build your own portfolios and invest in them easily

In 3 steps, you can create your smallcase and invest in it immediately

1. Select your stocks & organize them by segments

A smallcase is a weighted list of upto 50 stocks

Get started with adding a stock, and use the Stocks Suggestions\ to see more stocks in the same sector

Once you have added all your required stocks, use ‘segments’ to organize and categorize them as shown

2. Assign a weighting scheme for these stocks, or weight them individually

You can pick between an Equi-weighted or Market Cap-weighted scheme to weight your smallcase (more on weighting a portfolio here)

Else, you can assign individual weights to your stocks or even choose the number of shares for each stock

While assigning weights, you can see the final weights/shares for that stock along with the minimum investment amount for this smallcaseThis minimum amount ensures you’re buying the stocks with the weights you have allocated

3. See the past performance of your created smallcase & buy it instantly

After adding stocks and assigning weights – click on the Performance tab at the right to view how the smallcase would have performed in the last 1 year with respect to the general market (Nifty)

Once you are happy with the stocks, weights – you can add details for your smallcase – image, name, overview and buy it immediately

Or you can also save your smallcase for later, track it on your Drafts page and buy it whenever you feel like

With this feature, it’s now easy to create, buy, track & manage multiple portfolios for different use-cases you may have for example: Long Term Bets, Stocks for April, Dad’s Portfolio, Kids’ education etc

The standard AxisDirect charges would apply for created smallcases as well. 

Note

You can only add NSE stocks to create/customize your smallcase

Your smallcase will be private and will be visible only to you

You can also Customize from the existing line-up of 20+ smallcases - change weights, add/remove stocks or shares from the prescribed constituents.
