Invest in a basket of stocks
WealthBaskets are combinations of stocks/ETFs based on a sector, theme or idea. They are created and managed by SEBI registered professionals. With WealthBaskets, you do not need to undergo the painstaking process of researching multiple companies to build your portfolio.
On each company’s Stocks to WealthBaskets page, there is a “WealthBaskets” tab. By clicking on it, you can view the WealthBaskets of which the stock is a part of. If the stock is present in multiple WealthBaskets, you can see all of them.
On each WealthBasket card, you will be able to see several key data points like the risk/volatility, capitalisation, minimum investment, WealthBasket return and benchmark return. Such information could be used to understand which WealthBasket suits your own investment style and risk appetite.
Let us say you would like to invest in Reliance but also want to diversify your portfolio. Instead of researching thousands of companies, you can just check the WealthBaskets in which Reliance is present. This enables you to own your preferred stocks and invest in a combination of stocks that are part of a similar strategy or theme. Feel free to click on the WealthBasket and head over to the details page to learn more about them.
The WealthBaskets can help you diversify the risks of investing in a single company. The WealthBaskets are monitored by SEBI registered professionals, who would guide the investor on the exits from existing stocks, and entry into new stocks, as the overall market situation changes over a period.
For investors looking to invest in similar companies to the one searched, we have a similar stocks section in the WealthBasket window itself. The WealthBaskets in this section will contain stocks other than Reliance which are similar on the basis of industry, theme, strategy or certain other parameters.
Investors also have the option to look at the WealthBaskets whose constituents are dynamic, based on the investment amount. On choosing a higher/lower amount, the constituents of the WealthBaskets change to provide an appropriate risk-return profile based on the parameters established by the WealthBasket manager.
To know on what basis the WealthBasket is curated, just click on the card, and you will be taken to the WealthBasket’s page. Here, you can read about the WealthBasket and invest in it seamlessly.
