Stock level research report has been prevalent in Indian Stock Broking Industry for the longest time. Typical actions include Buy, Hold, Sell, Underweight, Overweight, Target Price, Target Price with Stop Loss, etc.
Research models also largely revolve around Fundamentals and Technicals. Till today news channels call Stock Researchers for their calls around these themes.
At Investor or Trader level, who suppose to look at these research reports and make Investing and Trading choices still have to track all these calls, build their own mental maps around what bought under long term or short term, identify how much money to put and also exit when those exit or underweight calls come.
Here is the catch. Most of these Investors and Traders lacks product experiences to consume these research reports in a logical way to systematically create wealth. Also they will not act on all the calls provided by these research report providers and will put their own biases which stocks to enter and which not to enter. Also no systematic approach how much to allocate to specific stock. In the process, they build a portfolio from a selective set of stocks with multiple biases and in some cases build concentrated stocks portfolio.
When we started working on building the WealthBasket Platform in 2016, we started looking at research regulations and current practices. We realized there is an opportunity to provide a powerful Research Construct to look at set of Stocks together combined in a scientific way and on Customer side, ability to Invest in these research powered WealthBaskets in a systematic and compliant way reducing all forms of biases that create impediments in Investor or Trader journey. It took us almost 3 years of building the Platform first to make sure research can be provided in a WealthBasket construct.
But the challenge was where are the Researchers who are doing research for a group of stocks together. Globally, this is done powered by Quantitative research, other synonyms being Factor/Smart Beta is a very well practiced strategy to build portfolios. Most prevalent factors being Momentum, Quality, Value, Size, Yield and Market Cap. This brought another opportunity to build grounds up Quantitative Research based Platform and bring that research in form of WealthBaskets to start with. That led to launch of OpenQ with Sujit Modi.
Today SharedotMarket integrates Quant Research powered WealthBasket on core Broking Platform & have set the foundation of building Intelligence layer on top of Broking starting with WealthBaskets in Direct Stocks and ETFs. The journey expands now to power more Intelligence led tools and offerings in Stocks and MFs. Also on F&O side bring powerful tools for Trading community. That is still a work in progress.
We continue to get feed backs from our precious early customers who are evangelist more than Customers to get bolder in our vision to elevate Discount Broking by bringing Intelligence at scale.
WealthBaskets are here to ease your investment journey. These baskets of stocks and ETFs are curated by our WealthBasket curators, who are SEBI registered professionals.
Are you curious how our curators are doing this heavy lifting? How do our curators create WealthBaskets?
Step 1: Spotting the Investment Themes
Curators look for investment themes that align with your financial goals. The investment themes include ideas, factors, sectors, industries, or geographical regions.
For instance, WealthBaskets like Banking & Financial Services and Infra & Realty Gems are created using sector-specific investment themes.
Step 2: Screening of Stocks and ETFs
Post identifying the themes for the WealthBaskets, next, they screen stocks and ETFs matching the investment theme. They screen for the growth potential and the risk involved in the underlying stocks and ETFs.
Step 3: In-depth Research on the stocks and ETFs
After rigorous screening of the stocks and ETFs, in-depth research is conducted on the selected stocks and ETFs to assess their growth potential. This analysis is done using financial statements, ratios, trends, historical price movement, factors, etc.
Step 4: Construction of the WealthBasket
The WealthBaskets are constructed by allocating a specific percentage of each selected stock or ETF. This percentage allocation is done by evaluating the securities’ risk and growth potential.
Step 5: Continuous Monitoring of the WealthBaskets
Curators regularly monitor the performance of the WealthBasket. This active monitoring allows for timely adjustments to the basket to ensure its alignment with each WealthBasket’s growth objective.
