What they do

Smallcase provides technology platforms and model investment portfolios of stocks, ETFs, and mutual funds, serving more than 10 million individual investors

What happened

The company introduced professionally managed US stock and global ETF portfolios for Indian investors via an IFSCA-registered provider at GIFT City

Why it matters

The offering builds on an earlier 2026 rollout of direct US equity investing and supports fractional investing starting at 50 dollars

The details

  • The company introduced US stock and global ETF portfolios tailored for Indian investors.
  • These US Equity smallcases are professionally managed collections built around long-term strategies, sectors, and investment themes.
  • Investors can purchase portions of shares through fractional investing with a minimum commitment of $50.
  • The platform incorporates features such as portfolio tracking and automatic rebalancing.
  • US broking services run under the IFSCA Global Access Provider framework located at GIFT City.
  • Transfers are processed by an IFSCA-registered payment service provider under the Reserve Bank of India Liberalised Remittance Scheme.
  • A unified investment account lets users access both standalone securities and professionally managed portfolios.

The bigger picture

  • Founder Vasanth Kamath highlighted that Indian investors face a larger information gap in foreign markets than domestic ones.
