4-in-1 Investment: Zerodha's New FoF offers gold, equity, G-Secs in 1 fund
What is it?
The newly launched Zerodha Multi Asset Passive FoF is a 4-in-1 portfolio that combines:
30% in Equity Large Cap ETFs – tracking India's top 100 companies.
30% in Mid Cap ETFs – capturing fast-growing mid-sized businesses.
25% in Gold ETFs – providing a hedge during equity market volatility.
15% in Government Securities ETFs (G-Secs) – for portfolio stability.
This fund aims to follow a balanced approach, taking exposure of close to 30% in Large Cap ETF - following top 100 index which consists of companies that are generally considered the market leaders of their respective sectors, 30% Mid Cap ETF - following mid 150 index which gives exposure to companies with relatively higher growth potential, 25% in Gold ETF - tracking gold which acts as a hedge against equity market uncertainty, 15% in G-sec ETF - investing in government securities with an aim to provide further stability to the portfolio.
Why this matters:
According to Vishal Jain, CEO, Zerodha Fund House, this fund is ideal for investors looking for a 'ready-made, diversified investment' that requires no active decision-making on asset allocation. With automatic internal rebalancing, investors don't need to shuffle between asset classes themselves.
Tax-efficient & accessible
One of the biggest advantages of this fund is its tax efficiency — since it rebalances internally, investors only pay capital gains tax when they redeem, not every time the fund reallocates.
With a low entry barrier of ₹100, the fund is both affordable and accessible, especially for first-time investors or those seeking a low-maintenance investment vehicle.
'This new fund takes the guesswork out of investing... a no-brainer solution for anyone looking for a simple way to achieve their asset allocation goals,' added Vaibhav Jalan, CBO, Zerodha Fund House.
For whom?
This fund is best suited for:
Zerodha's Multi Asset Passive FoF makes it easier than ever to diversify investments across equities, gold, and bonds, without worrying about frequent adjustments or tax implications.

Nithin Kamath invests in company whose CEO helped Zerodha in early days
Nithin Kamath's Zerodha has invested in Capitalmind Financial Services, a SEBI registered portfolio management service led by Deepak Shenoy. The investment was made through Rainmatter, which is Zerodha's long‑term investment initiative. Zerodha CEO Nithin Kamath (L) with Deepak Shenoy (C)(X/@Nithin0dha) In a post shared on social media, Nithin Kamath reflected on how life sometimes comes a full circle as he revealed that Deepak Shenoy was one of the first people to lend his name and credibility to Zerodha. Life comes a full circle for Nithin Kamath 'It is sometimes surreal how life comes full circle,' wrote the CEO of Zerodha on X. 'Deepak Shenoy was among the first people I spoke to about the idea of Zerodha. When we started, he agreed to lend his credibility by having his name on our website as an advisor,' he revealed. Kamath announced that he was happy to back Shenoy's Capitalmind with an investment through Rainmatter. According to a Moneycontrol report, Capitalmind recently received a mutual fund license. This investment from Rainmatter is its first external institutional funding. Early days of Zerodha Zerodha was founded in August 2010 by brothers Nithin and Nikhil Kamath. It began as a bootstrapped startup with the aim of democratising stock trading in India by reducing costs and improving transparency. The rest, as they say, is history. Zerodha is today widely recognised as India's largest stockbroker and has turned the Kamath brothers into billionaires. Responding to Nithin Kamath's post, Bengaluru-based Deepak Shenoy reminisced about the early days of Zerodha. 'Many thanks Nithin! I can't even believe that at one time, I had credibility to give to Zerodha!' he wrote. 'I remember carrying the early Zerodha forms in my Hyundai Accent in Gurgaon - telling people how much brokerage they would save'. 'We have been in discussion regarding the businesses for a long time and have known each other for years now. Rainmatter's investment philosophy has been non-interfering and there is a lot of synergy with Zerodha. We have spoken with Zerodha Fund House as well,' Shenoy told Moneycontrol.

Capitalmind gets Zerodha's Rainmatter backing after MF debut success
Capitalmind Financial Services Pvt Ltd (CFSPL), a Sebi-registered portfolio manager known for its quantitative investment strategies, has received its first institutional funding through a Series-A investment from Rainmatter, the fintech-focused initiative of Zerodha Broking Ltd. The funding comes on the heels of Capitalmind's mutual fund debut, as its Flexi Cap Fund reopens for subscriptions today after raising ₹45 crore during its New Fund Offer (NFO). Of this, around 75 per cent came through direct plans -- nearly half routed via Zerodha's Coin platform, according to a Capitalmind statement. Direct plans dominate fund inflows The high share of direct inflows reflects investor trust, and also marks a shift in Capitalmind's distribution approach. The remaining 25 per cent of the NFO corpus was raised through regular plans, suggesting early traction among distributors. This is a notable change from Capitalmind's portfolio management services (PMS) business, where distributors account for under 3 per cent of the clientele. The company's flat-fee structure for brokerages is being seen as a step towards making distribution more equitable and transparent. A long-standing relationship The investment formalises a long-standing association between Zerodha founder Nithin Kamath and Capitalmind founder Deepak Shenoy. Shenoy was an early advisor to Zerodha in 2010, and both companies have since shared a focus on investor education. Zerodha's outreach platforms -- including the Varsity education portal, TradingQnA forum, and Zero1 YouTube channel -- have grown in parallel with Capitalmind's content-driven model of blogs, podcasts, and research. Kamath said, "We want to back innovative companies that share our mission of helping Indians do better with their money. My conversations with Deepak about finance and technology started back in 2009, and I've always been impressed by Capitalmind's data-driven, transparent approach. This is a financial investment to support them as they build out their asset management company. In line with Sebi regulations, our stake is capped at 10 per cent, and we will not have a board seat, ensuring their independence." Capitalmind eyes broader retail base Capitalmind's founder Deepak Shenoy sees the Rainmatter investment as a validation of the company's evolution from a financial blog into a full-stack asset management firm. "Nithin's work in sparking my interest in quantitative trading years ago was a pivotal moment for me," Shenoy said. "Having Rainmatter invest in our vision is a powerful validation of our journey. This capital allows us to accelerate our mission of filling a crucial market gap. The professional fee-only advisory ecosystem hasn't scaled as hoped, leaving investors to navigate a complex landscape. We aim to bridge that gap through accessible, solution-oriented products, much like the target-date funds discussed in Sebi's recent consultation paper." Distinct strategies for mutual fund and PMS businesses Capitalmind plans to operate its mutual fund and PMS businesses on separate tracks. The mutual fund arm will focus on scalable retail products, while the PMS division will continue targeting HNIs and ultra-HNIs with customised asset allocation strategies that emphasise tax efficiency. The PMS segment currently manages over ₹450 crore, largely through baskets of mutual funds. Though Capitalmind accounts for just 0.5 per cent of the PMS industry's discretionary AUM, Shenoy sees far more scope in the retail mutual fund space. With industry projections estimating a 15 per cent CAGR, taking total AUM to ₹200 trillion over the next seven years, Shenoy believes capturing even 0.5 per cent of that future market could translate to ₹1 trillion in assets -- a significant milestone for the firm.

RBI allows treasury bills investment via SIP in Retail Direct scheme
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has introduced systematic investment plans (SIPs) facility for investment in treasury bills in the central bank's Retail Direct scheme. 'To enable investors to systematically plan their investments, an auto-bidding facility for treasury bills (T-bills), covering both investment and reinvestment options, has been enabled in Retail Direct. The new functionality helps investors to mandate automatic placement of bids in primary auctions of T-bills,' RBI said. The Retail Direct portal was launched in November 2021 to facilitate retail investors to open their gilt accounts with the RBI under the Retail Direct scheme. It allows retail investors to buy government securities (G-Secs) in primary auctions as well as buy and sell G-Secs in the secondary market. According to RBI's recent data, the retail investors continue to invest more in treasury bills as compared to instruments like state and central government securities, and sovereign gold bonds through the scheme. 'We are expanding the functionality in RBI Retail Direct platform to enable retail investors to invest in treasury bills through systematic investment plans,' RBI governor Sanjay Malhotra said. As of August 4, 68 per cent of the total primary market subscriptions were channelled through T-bills, whereas, only 10.4 per cent subscriptions were through central government dated securities. Subscriptions through state government securities, and sovereign gold bonds were 6.2 per cent, and 4.3 per cent respectively. The subscriptions through floating rate saving bonds stood at 11 per cent. Since the launch of the scheme, RBI has introduced several new features, including the launch of a mobile app in May 2024. According to experts, the new functionality is expected to support the market and indicates a proactive approach by RBI. Vishal Dhawan, co-founder, Plan Ahead Wealth Advisors, said, 'This is a way to put money through the RBI direct platform into treasury bills for saving money towards either short-term or long-term investor needs. It has been one of the missing links as far as the debt side is concerned because most of the retail participation in debt has traditionally come through institutions like insurance companies, mutual funds, etc.' Another treasury expert said, 'There is need for more clarity as the platform will have to introduce additional features to introduce SIP. Also, it is not likely to see a major difference in retail participation in the segment, unless there is a huge gap between deposit rates offered and the T-bill rates.'
