Kotak Securities launches three readymade portfolios for investors; here’s all you need to know

Kotak Securities (KSL) on August 25 announced the launch of three new “Ace Portfolios”– a collection of curated ‘smallcase’ portfolios for retail investors. In addition to the existing ‘smallcase’ strategies available on the Kotak Securities investment platform, investors can now invest through the three new “Ace Portfolios”.

‘Smallcases’ are portfolios of stocks and ETFs based on specific themes and strategies. Of the three new ‘Ace Portfolios’ – one is curated by Abakkus Asset Manager LLP (an investment advisory firm founded by Sunil Singhania), and the other two portfolios are curated by the Kotak Securities’ in-house research team.

Curated portfolio

The ‘Abakkus Smart Premier League’ is a curated portfolio that helps generate alpha and risk-adjusted returns for investors by creating a benchmark agnostic portfolio predominantly within the top-250 listed companies.

Kotak Securities’ own portfolios are ‘The Wall’, which provides recommendations of high Return on Equity (RoE) companies with strong corporate governance standards and ‘Master Blaster’ – a basket of large-cap stocks with diversified sectoral exposure.

“We believe in adding value for investors and the introduction of a new range of ‘Ace Portfolios’ will help our investors to make intelligent decisions while investing in select portfolios. The insights that the ‘Ace Portfolios’ offer are well researched and will provide an edge to investors on the Kotak Securities’ platform,” said Jaideep Hansraj, MD and CEO, Kotak Securities.

Kotak Securities added that the research teams that have constructed these portfolios employ strategies including asset allocation, factor investing, corporate governance, value and momentum strategies. These portfolios are curated investment recommendations by established registered investment advisors and research analysts and come with a nominal fee for all users of Kotak Securities’ investing platform. The recommendations will be reviewed regularly by the managers ensuring that the portfolio continues to reflect the underlying strategy.
