A smallcase is nothing but a small mutual fund that a person can create for herself/himself. Creating a smallcase is an easy and cost-effective way of investing because of two reasons. Firstly, there is only a 100 Rs charge for creating a smallcase. Secondly, you can sell an entire smallcase or sell it in parts, without incurring any additional charges.

Why should we create a smallcase?

A smallcase has all the qualities of a mutual fund. Moreover, it is very economic therefore we should create a smallcase. There is a very good channel on YouTube that helps us in creating a smallcase.

How should we create a smallcase of Nifty 50 stocks or companies?

In order to create a smallcase, we will have to open a Demat account. Not all Demat accounts support smallcases but Angel Broking and Zerodha support it. The video shared below is in the English language which shows how to create a smallcase.

Firstly, our main objective of classification of the Nifty 50 companies into various sectors was for our understanding of the index composition. Secondly, during a fall and subsequent turn around we cannot predict that only a particular company will perform well. Therefore it is logical to diversify our investments into an entire sector.
