What are Educases?

Educases are a bucket of mutual funds, which allows an investor to buy a bucket of mutual funds, which are predefined combinations of funds based on the calculated risk and returns parameters.

Why Educases are needed?

There are more than 4,500 mutual funds we have in the industry. But which fund will suit which type of investor based on the risk could be a difficult task. So, here in EduFund, we have a bucket of mutual funds for every investor, known as Educases.

Strategy behind Educases

A team of EduFund experts sits together and decides what will be the parameters of risk and returns to meet the objective.

Parameters like standard deviation, alpha, share ratio, returns, etc. Then, a report is run over 4,500 mutual funds to extract the top mutual funds based on different risks. 

What if the fund is new? In that case, if the fund is active/passive, then we wait for some quarters to check its performance compared to the benchmark & its peers; and the fund’s expense ratio. That’s not all; we also look for other parameters.

And then, the past data of these educases are back-tested to check the volatility in returns and how the portfolio has performed under different market conditions.

We try to ensure that the portfolio should face less volatility than the market and should remain in sync with the risk and returns parameter. These educases are rebalanced to make the best fit for the risk. In the end, a monthly review is done on these educases.

For example, suppose the equity market is corrected by more than 15%. In that case, we try to ensure that your equity portfolio in the aggressive risk category should not be corrected by that much.
