FINZ ETF Basket Quant
By: Finkhoz Roboadvisory Services Pvt Ltd
If you like the idea of diversifying without constantly tinkering, this one leans into a rule-based, balanced ETF mix across equity and commodities, positioned as a more stability-oriented route to long-term wealth creation.
How it works
This smallcase is built as a diversified basket of ETFs, combining equity ETFs with commodity exposure (like gold), aiming to balance participation in markets with a stabilising sleeve. Only well-structured and transparent ETFs that maintain high replication accuracy are included.

Cyclical & Fundamental Opportunities Basket Theme
By: KamayaKya
Ideal for high-risk investors, this smallcase takes a contrarian approach to deep cyclical turnarounds, targeting established names in sectors like metals, commodities, infrastructure, and auto ancillaries when they are seen as “bottom of the cycle.”
How it works
The smallcase identifies companies where supply consolidation has occurred, capex cycles have bottomed out, and utilisation rates are poised to rise. Risk is managed through diversification across distinct cyclical themes and strict exit protocols.

Dividend Yield and Growth Basket Fundamental
By: KamayaKya
A hybrid mindset: steady dividend income paired with growth-oriented stocks. This smallcase is designed for investors who want the comfort of payouts without sacrificing long-term compounding.
How it works
This smallcase is a core-style basket targeting total return by blending dividend-paying businesses with growth-oriented names. It is built to bridge the gap between “income-generating” safety and “growth-oriented” wealth creation.
How the picks are chosen:
The research team looks for companies that pay dividends from cash generated by the business (not just profits on paper), have a history of increasing dividends over time, and show strong fundamentals, such as low debt and the ability to reinvest for growth while still rewarding shareholders.

Finpire Strategic Defence Theme
By: FINPIRE Capital Research
Ideal for investors who want a cleaner way to express a defence thesis, without building a sector basket from scratch.
How it works
It’s a theme basket, so your returns will depend heavily on developments in the defence ecosystem (order flows, execution, margins, and policy direction). It offers exposure across defence platforms, electronics, and precision engineering, aiming to participate in long-term sector growth drivers.
