How It Works
- Step 1 | Universe Start from Nifty 50 filtered to stocks priced under ₹2500.
- 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.
- Step 3 | Select Hold the top 10 names by score. Equal-weight across the book so no single name dominates.
- Step 4 | Rebalance Every 4 weeks the model re-runs end-to-end. Names that fall out of the top 10 are sold; new entrants are bought. You see the full holdings list at every rebalance.

Why This Strategy
The starter card. 10 stocks from the Nifty 50 universe, equal-weighted at roughly 10 percent each, rotated every 4 weeks. No debt sleeve. No gold. No price filter beyond 2500. The whole thing is built for first-time systematic investors who want one number to track and a rule that fits on a postcard.
The 5-year backtest produced a cumulative return of 102.08% against the Nifty 50's 59.62%, an alpha of 42.46 percentage points. CAGR 15.10%. The trade-off you accept for the simplicity is modest performance: the Nifty 50 universe is too narrow to generate strong momentum alpha, so this card mostly captures the Nifty's beta with a small tilt. Right card to learn systematic investing. Graduate to Large Midcap or Alpha 5 once you have lived through a drawdown here.
Lowest CAGR (15.10 percent), lowest Sharpe (0.88) on the lineup, but also the lowest minimum capital (₹17,799). 2025 closed -2.7 percent (revised from -9.0; better than half the lineup). 2026 has flipped positive at +4.4 percent YTD after a -8.9 percent March. The 672-day Oct 2021 to Aug 2023 drawdown is the lived experience of holding 10 Nifty names through a sideways regime, instructive, not catastrophic.
CAGR 15.10% versus Nifty's 9.80%. Sharpe 0.88. Max drawdown 22.24%. Volatility 17.84%. Min 17799.
