Methodology

How it works

  1. 1
    Universe

    Start from the Nifty 100, filtered to stocks priced under ₹5,000.

  2. 2
    Rank

    Score every stock by a risk adjusted momentum composite over several look backs.

  3. 3
    Select

    Hold the top 20 names by score, equal weighted so no single name dominates.

  4. 4
    Rebalance

    Every 4 weeks the model reruns: names out of the top 20 are sold, new entrants bought, and the full list is published.

Why Focused Largecap 20

An institutional operations floor seen from behind the desks, with RupeeCase strategy screens across the video wall
An operations floor, RupeeCase on sample data
  • Largecap momentum on the Nifty 100 universe
  • 20 stocks equal-weighted, rebalanced every 4 weeks
  • The slowest-rebalancing pure-equity momentum card, so costs stay light
  • Pure largecap equity for capital that stays invested through cycles

The pure-equity twin of LargeCap Multi Asset. Same 20-stock Nifty 100 momentum sleeve, same 4-week rebalance, but no debt overlay, no gold overlay. 100% equity.

Twenty large-cap names, equal-weighted, re-screened every 4 weeks. Nothing here is exotic. The edge is discipline applied to the most liquid shelf of the market.

The trade you accept is lower momentum capture, the screen reacts monthly rather than fortnightly.

This is the pure-equity largecap slot. For a moderately aggressive investor who wants the equity engine without the turnover friction or thematic concentration, 20 largecap names rotated every 4 weeks is the direct expression.

A description, not a recommendation. Decide your own allocation, or ask a SEBI registered investment adviser.

How the rule was built

Machine learning tested the signals, the number of names and the cadence out of sample. The rule that ships is frozen and published: a fixed, readable algorithm, not a black box.
