There is a smallcase for all kinds of investors!

Whether you are new to investing or are a pro at it, there is a smallcase for you. Get access to over 40+ portfolios that reflect trending themes, market strategies or specific objectives. Let’s understand with some examples.

Thematic investing

In line with the popular adage `There's always a bull market somewhere’, one can opportunistically invest in a theme that’s slated to do well and benefit from it; But finding the right stocks and getting their weightage correct can be difficult. That’s where smallcases have your back! For instance, you can invest in companies that could benefit from the electric vehicle boom with the Electric Mobility smallcase.

Strategy-based investing

Believe in a particular investment strategy? We even have ideas based on popular investment models to choose from. For example ‘The Naked Trader’ strategy, which is based on trading expert ​​Robbie Burns’s criteria. Regular rebalance updates ensure that the portfolio stays true to the strategy that it is based on.

Objective-based investing

Do you have a financial goal you’re gunning for? We offer a host of options to suit your specific investment objectives. For example, the Dividend Aristocrats smallcase which provides exposure to high dividend yielding stocks. Dividends constitute an additional stream of income over and above capital appreciation. This strategy is suitable for investors who need a regular income from their investments.

Investing in ETFs

ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) are highly liquid funds that track an underlying index (Nifty, Gold, etc) and can be bought and sold on the exchange.

With just a few clicks, you can take exposure to ETF-based portfolios and get the benefit of diversification at a low cost. For example, the All Weather Investing smallcase provides exposure to 3 asset classes--equity, debt and gold; ensuring that your portfolio has the right allocation in each asset class at the right time.

You can easily filter smallcases based on your choice and start investing via your ICICI Direct account.
