How It Works

  1. Step 1 | Universe Start from Nifty 100 filtered to stocks priced under ₹5,000.
  2. Step 2 | Rank Score every stock in the universe by a momentum composite (price trend over multiple lookbacks, risk-adjusted). The top names by score become the candidate list.
  3. Step 3 | Select Hold the top 20 names by score. Equal-weight across the book so no single name dominates.
  4. Step 4 | Rebalance Every 4 weeks the model re-runs end-to-end. Names that fall out of the top 20 are sold; new entrants are bought. You see the full holdings list at every rebalance.

Who This Is For

Suitable for
investors who want growth but read a 25 percent drawdown as opportunity not panic
Suggested allocation
20 to 40 percent of equity capital
Time horizon
5 years or longer. Drawdowns of 24% have happened in the backtest and can happen again. Capital you might need within 12 months should not be here.
Capital required
₹99,000 minimum. This buys roughly one share of every holding at current prices. Investing more buys fractions of additional units and tightens the model's expected behaviour.

Why This Strategy

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 percent 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 4-week rebalance cadence is the differentiator: this is the lowest-turnover pure-equity strategy on the marketplace, which is why the cost line above runs lighter than the fortnightly cards. The trade you accept is lower momentum capture, the screen reacts monthly rather than fortnightly, and the ride is correspondingly smoother.

This is the conservative-core 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 simplest expression on the lineup. The pitch is steady compounding over a multi-year horizon.

The live metrics above carry the record. It updates daily.
