Mirae x smallcase: 8 ETF Portfolios — Right for You?

Mirae Asset MF teamed up with smallcase to launch 8 ETF-based model portfolios covering equity, gold, and multi-asset strategies. You can invest in a ready-made, rules-based portfolio without picking individual stocks or funds.

Here's what happened: Mirae Asset Mutual Fund partnered with smallcase to launch eight model portfolios built entirely from Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), covering equity, gold, commodities, and multi-asset strategies.. The portfolios follow rules-based allocation strategies — meaning buy/sell decisions are driven by preset criteria, not a fund manager's discretionary calls, which reduces human-bias risk.. Investors can access these portfolios directly through the smallcase platform using an existing demat and broker account, with automatic rebalancing triggered when allocations drift beyond set thresholds..

What you should do: Compare the total expense ratio (TER) of these ETF portfolios against your current active mutual fund SIPs — if your active fund charges above 1%, the cost gap alone may justify a switch.. Check whether your existing broker (Zerodha, Groww, Angel One, etc.) is integrated with smallcase so you can access these portfolios without opening a new account.. Avoid allocating your entire corpus to a single portfolio category — use the multi-asset option if you are a first-time ETF investor, as it spreads risk across equity, gold, and debt automatically..

Pro tip: In a smallcase ETF portfolio, you own the underlying ETF units directly in your demat — unlike a mutual fund, there is no exit load, and your holdings are visible and portable if you ever switch brokers.
