Drawdown is peak-to-trough on the backtested NAV. Recovered means the prior peak got reclaimed. "Recovering" means the prior peak has not yet been reclaimed as of 27 Apr 2026. Every drawdown here is real. Every recovery is the rules getting back to work.

Methodology

How performance is published.

The model decides. We publish what it decided. Every strategy ships with public rules, timestamped rebalances, and the actual holdings on every cycle. Backtests start January 2021 with ₹100 invested. STT, exchange fees, brokerage, GST, slippage all deducted on every rebalance. No fudged numbers. No survivor bias. No live-trading-only-when-it-works disclaimer. Source: NSE BhavCopy. Updated weekly.

How the lineup is organised 6 tiers, 16 strategies

Match the tier to your risk band first, then pick a strategy inside that tier. Most investors start in Starter, scale into Conservative core or Multi-asset core for the bulk of capital, and add Growth core or Thematic as satellites.

Starter 2 strategies

Lowest minimum capital. The first systematic strategy you should run before scaling into broader baskets.

Conservative core 3 strategies

Largecap-led, multi-asset cushion or 20% debt buffer. Lowest drawdown profile in the lineup. Built for the capital you want invested through cycles.

Growth core 5 strategies

Pure equity momentum across mid, small, micro, and large-mid universes. The growth tier where alpha lives. Higher volatility, deeper drawdowns, biggest CAGR.

Multi-asset core 4 strategies

Equity engine wrapped in debt and gold sleeves. Highest Sharpe ratios. The "have your alpha and sleep too" allocation.

Full-equity core 1 strategy

100% equity, broadest universe. Best risk-adjusted return among pure-equity strategies. Sharpe in line with multi-asset, more upside.

Thematic satellite 1 strategy

Single-sector concentration. Built for slices of capital that take a directional sector view. Highest single-sector exposure, highest drawdown.
