How It Works

  1. Step 1 | Universe Start from Nifty 100 filtered to stocks priced under ₹5000. Equity sleeve sits inside a multi-asset frame with debt and gold.
  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 21 equity holdings plus the configured debt and gold sleeves. Equity is equal-weighted within the sleeve; the multi-asset weights are fixed.
  4. Step 4 | Rebalance Every 4 weeks the model re-runs end-to-end. Names that fall out of the top 21 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 25% have happened in the backtest and can happen again. Capital you might need within 12 months should not be here.
Capital required
₹115000 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

20 stocks from the Nifty 100 universe, equal-weighted at roughly 4 percent each, with a 20% LiquidCase debt sleeve and no gold. Rebalance every 4 weeks.

The 5-year backtest produced a cumulative return of 190.19% against the Nifty 50's 64.36%. CAGR 23.74%. Sharpe 1.22. Max drawdown 25.19%.

The debt buffer does its job. Annualised volatility 18.90%, the lowest among the higher-CAGR cards on the lineup. The worst week was 6.03% down, shallower than the Nifty itself at 6.33% — unusual for a card with a deep cumulative drawdown, but it reflects the debt cushion absorbing single-week shocks.

The card has had four positive calendar years out of five: 2024 +28.9%, 2023 +44.8%, 2022 +30.9%, 2021 +22.5%. 2025 closed at minus 7.0%. 2026 YTD through April is +4.3%.

This is not a high-CAGR card. It is the conservative large-cap card with the lowest cost structure on the lineup at 2.87 percent of capital over 5 years. The trade-off is deliberate: low CAGR (23.74%) and a slow recovery from the late-2024 to March-2026 drawdown, in exchange for low volatility, low cost, and a debt cushion.

For a large-cap investor who wants Nifty 100 quality with a debt buffer and the cheapest cost profile on the lineup, this is the card.

CAGR 23.74% versus Nifty's 10.44%. Sharpe 1.22. Max drawdown 25.19%. Volatility 18.90%. Cost ratio 2.87% of capital over 5 years — lowest on the lineup. Min 115000.
