Three ready-made ways to follow the market.
Each portfolio is a plain list of Indian stocks that our system rebuilds on a fixed schedule — a “rebalance” — so it keeps holding the names that are currently leading the market. They all run on the same idea, momentum, but with different levels of risk. Pick the one that fits how you like to invest.
Core Momentum
Our flagship. Core Momentum holds the strongest-trending stocks from across the broad Indian market. Every week the list is rebuilt so it stays with the current leaders and drops names as they lose steam. It keeps no cash aside and does not try to time the market — it simply follows the leaders, fully invested.
- How often it updates
- Rebuilt every week
- What it holds
- 24 stocks, chosen from the NSE 500 (India's 500 largest listed companies)
- Who it's for
- People who want the most direct way to ride the market's leaders, and are comfortable with bigger ups and downs in exchange for higher growth potential.
Defensive Blend
The steadier option. Defensive Blend combines our other two strategies and adds one safety feature: when the overall market turns weak, it moves half the portfolio to cash to soften the fall. The trade-off is giving up a little upside in strong markets in return for smaller drops in bad ones.
- How often it updates
- Rebuilt every two weeks
- What it holds
- Up to 24 stocks, blended from across the NSE 500, with a cash cushion in weak markets
- Who it's for
- People who like the idea of following momentum but want a smoother experience and smaller losses when markets get rough.
Quality Momentum
Momentum, with a preference for sturdier companies. Quality Momentum looks for stocks that are trending up and tend to hold their ground better when markets fall, and it automatically turns more defensive when the market weakens. It runs on India's larger and mid-sized companies.
- How often it updates
- Rebuilt every two weeks
- What it holds
- 25 stocks, chosen from the Nifty 250 (large and mid-sized companies)
- Who it's for
- People who want to follow momentum but prefer steadier, better-established businesses over the raciest names.
All three are built from the same research: momentum tested over years of Indian market history and validated on data our models had never seen. We don't predict where the market is going — we run a disciplined process that stays with the leaders and steps away as they fade.
