to help introduce a new generation of investors to mutual funds. The upcoming AMC will be a joint venture between Zerodha & smallcase and will use learnings & shared values from both cos to build an enduring fund house
While awaiting the final approval of our AMC (mutual fund), we asked if we should build it ourselves or collaborate. Given the 6+ years of experience that
@smallcaseHQ
has in building investment products, it made perfect sense to create a joint venture (JV) to build the AMC. 2/3

2/ When we started
@smallcaseHQ
in 2015, retail investors were mostly either investing in stocks or MFs with a tiny overlap of those doing both. One of our key beliefs was (& still is) that investors will have both instruments in their portfolios compared to an either/or approach
A wealthy person gifts you 1 crore rupees. You get to choose in which form you’ll accept the gift. But there’s a catch: You must keep the gift in the form that you choose for 10 years without touching it. In which form would you accept the gift? (Inspired by

poll)
This funding helps us build the best investment products & platforms for every investor, while developing a valuable ecosystem for our stakeholders. We are excited for what's next and remain incredibly thankful to our users, partners and team for their love, support & feedback 🚀

4/ Around the same time, index funds & ETFs started to see traction for similar characteristics of simplicity & transparency. Growing awareness, widening markets and regulatory initiatives enabled greater participation from both individual and institutional investors
5/ We believed that by extending the smallcase format beyond stocks to include ETFs, more people could build better, diversified portfolios in their demat accounts. We added ETFs to the smallcases Platform in mid-2018.
Since so many were asking my opinion, here is why I think it will be a disaster if all brokerage firms in India decided to take the 0 commission route like what is happening in the US. For

9/ This was also a natural progression to our mission of building the next-gen investment product layer using technology. We found a great partner in
@Zerodha
to set up a fund house that could take a principled & focused approach to re-imagining mutual funds
6/ The adoption of ETFs in smallcases has rapidly grown in the last 3 years, with managers using these as core building blocks or for specific exposures in their strategies & ideas. The most popular smallcases even today are ETF asset allocation strategies
We have been strong proponents of asset allocation through ETFs and core-satellite investing. Today, most bought smallcases on our platform are built using ETFs (2/8)
In the last 6 yrs, smallcases have been successful in helping millions of demat account holders build a healthy long-term portfolio & there's immense potential to bring the same principles of simplicity & transparency to mutual funds to bring in a new segment of investors
We're embracing remote work to provide greater satisfaction & better productivity 🚀

8/ This overwhelming response pushed us to think more about how we could bring the power of passives to every retail investor. An AMC made the most sense as we felt we could innovate on multiple fronts - product, process & service
Excited to launch our "Core" Index based smallcase at Rs. 1 day. Democratizing index investing and making it accessible for all is our aim.
