What is Small Case - Explained

Writer: MyRupayaMyRupaya

Many investors are increasingly using small case platforms for concentrated investments, and they are finding that it is a simple, convenient, and sometimes more productive approach. Because the markets have been so strong over the previous 20 months, some market participants are wondering whether this alternative would cause a disruption in MF flows.

To participate, you must first create an account with one of the discount brokers. Please keep in mind that your friendly neighbourhood broker is unable to provide tiny case items.


Small case stock folios are frequently based on algorithms and quantitative models. Astute investors employ them for momentum investing. This is not a feature offered by any mutual fund programme. (However, quant-based mutual fund schemes with limited fund management contact are available.) In any event, the stocks are chosen after extensive investigation.


All of the equities in the small case are available to investors. They may, however, adjust the portfolio by adding and removing a few stocks. They can also alter the weightings assigned to each stock. As a result, the investor becomes his own fund manager and can reap the rewards or drawbacks of doing so.


The main benefit is that there is no lock-in period or exit load. Many service providers demand one-time admission fees, which you will not know the stock basket unless you pay.

Direct equity investment requires a thorough understanding of equities, valuation concepts, and business trends. If you contact the service provider for details, the advising fees may be comparable to the cost ratio of a mutual fund.


Selection is particularly difficult due to the large number of portfolios offered on the small case platform.


Diversification is not desirable nor possible with the small case bundle of stocks since it is a concentrated exposure to a subject or a concept. Because of the ease of admission, inexpensive initial investment, and numerous mechanisms such as SIP, STP, and SWP, mutual funds are quite handy. It is extremely impossible to replicate a balanced advantage or similar fund portfolio.


In the case of mutual funds, the expense ratio becomes a part of your investment amount, making capital gains computation simple. To put it another way, fund firms alter the Net Asset Value to account for expenditures (NAV). Because you may not be able to leave all of the stocks at once in a small situation, a weighted allocation of advising fees to the stocks in the portfolio may be necessary.


When choosing the small case option, the willingness to accept the risk of volatility is assumed. This has the potential to make or ruin a portfolio. Mutual funds, on the other hand, have historically provided consistent long-term returns that have grown in tandem with the economy. Furthermore, fund managers adjust their holdings in response to changing market conditions. To mitigate market collapses, certain MFs are hedged using derivatives.


Most crucially, mutual fund investments must be made by 3 p.m. on the same day. During the previous 30 minutes, the market might move up or down. As a result, market timing is difficult to achieve. You can precisely timing the acquisition and selling of a tiny case if you invest in it.
