How It Works

  1. Step 1 | Universe Start from Nifty Total Market (max 5000) 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 48 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 2 weeks the model re-runs end-to-end. Names that fall out of the top 48 are sold; new entrants are bought. You see the full holdings list at every rebalance.

Who This Is For

Suitable for
investors who want a balanced equity tilt with a built-in volatility cushion
Suggested allocation
core equity allocation, 30 to 60 percent of total equity bucket
Time horizon
5 years or longer. Drawdowns of 22% have happened in the backtest and can happen again. Capital you might need within 12 months should not be here.
Capital required
₹294000 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 gold-free version of Allcap Multi Asset. Same 50-stock equity sleeve and same Nifty Total Market universe under 5000, but the 10% gold sleeve is folded into debt for a 20% LiquidCase cushion. Rebalance every 2 weeks.

The 5-year backtest produced a cumulative return of 490.49% against the Nifty 50's 66.10%. CAGR 42.62%. Sharpe 1.75. Max drawdown 21.85%.

This is not the multi-asset card. It is the gold-free version. Same equity engine, same cost structure, but the gold inflation hedge is gone. The trade-off: 0.95 percentage points lower CAGR than the multi-asset twin (42.62 vs 43.57), 0.04 lower Sharpe (1.75 vs 1.79), and 0.50 percentage points deeper max drawdown (21.85 vs 21.35).

For an investor who explicitly does not want gold exposure — cleaner regulatory profile, one fewer holding to track — this is the simpler card. For an investor who does, Allcap Multi Asset is the better trade.

CAGR 42.62% versus Nifty's 10.68%. Sharpe 1.75 versus 0.79. Max drawdown 21.85%. Min 294000.
