Flagship is a part of our core offering at Stack. It includes different strategies such as Core, Satellite and goals. The right strategies are recommended to you on the app based on your risk appetite and goals.

Your Flagship portfolio allows you to invest in a curated selection of mutual funds unique to your investor profile (created once you complete the "Coffee Chat"). Mutual funds are investment vehicles that pool money from multiple investors to invest in a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, or other securities. These funds are managed by professional fund managers who make investment decisions on behalf of the investors.

When you invest in a mutual fund, you're essentially buying shares or units of the fund. The value of these shares, called Net Asset Value (NAV), fluctuates based on the performance of the underlying securities in the fund's portfolio.

Users are not charged any fees by Stack.

Stack earns a small fee from various financial institutions for the services rendered. This fee structure is mentioned in our 'disclosures'.

Investing in mutual funds, like any investment, carries risks. However, mutual funds are generally considered a relatively safer investment option compared to investing directly in individual stocks or riskier financial instruments. The mutual fund industry in India is regulated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), which imposes certain rules and regulations to protect investors.

Our experts choose the most optimal asset allocation when it comes to your Flagship and Opportunities investments. As of right now, we do not allow investors to alter this allocation as it could alter the performance of your portfolio hindering your ability to reach their financial goals on time.

The investment team has developed its own proprietary Smart Stack Approach in designing the asset allocation across different investment strategies listed on the platform.

We use a multi-factor model to design the allocations for every user that takes into account factors such as current market conditions, the user's risk appetite, tolerance and individual preferences as well as end objectives and current lifestyle etc.
