What is the investment philosophy of Teji Mandi?
Our investment philosophy has 4 aspects. We pick stocks from the Nifty 500, which provides adequate liquidity. We follow a focused stock-picking method, combining a portfolio of tactical bets with long-term winners to ensure optimum returns. Our selling strategy is disciplined where we eliminate the losers and double down on the winners to ensure meaningful capital protection for clients. Lastly, we maintain 1 portfolio to ensure standardisation and uniformity of returns across all clients.
When to invest in the Stock market?
We at Teji Mandi recommend that you should not try to time the market.
We offer a portfolio of stocks from a short to long-term perspective. Therefore, entry price and target price will not be important. You will have to buy the stocks at the current market price and rebalance the portfolio when the notification is sent.
What is rebalance? How does rebalance work?
Rebalance helps investors rearrange their portfolio depending on the external market conditions, quality stock-picking, and disciplined selling strategy.
How to rebalance?
- Tap ‘Rebalance’ on the home screen.
- Login with a broker.
- Tap ‘Confirm Update’.
- Review stocks.
- Tap the ‘Rebalance Smallcase’ button.
- Confirm the sell order through CDSL (by entering your TPIN).
- Continue to CDSL.
- And, wait for the order to be fulfilled.
Why is rebalancing important?
Due to the changing market conditions and economic indications, it becomes crucial for ‘Teji Mandi’ to rearrange its portfolio stocks. This helps maintain an ideal allocation by selling a few stocks and replacing them with the ‘better’ ones through our disciplined rebalancing strategy.
Rebalancing is done to ensure that the investor gets the advantage of stocks that would compound over a longer period and can take advantage of situations from a short-term perspective.
How frequently do we rebalance the TM portfolio?
We usually rebalance our long term portfolios i.e. Teji Mandi Flagship and Multiplier portfolio in 45 to 60 days or depending the market conditions.For our short term portfolio Edge the rebalance is usually made depending on the market conditions.
We will tell you when to sell and buy other stocks through our rebalance updates sent on email, WhatsApp, and push notifications.
What If investors miss rebalancing?
Nothing to worry about – you can always rebalance later by tapping the ‘Rebalance Now’ button. However, we recommend doing it as early as possible.
What if investors do not wish to rebalance?
We do not recommend this and hence we mandate rebalancing. If your rebalance transaction fails, you can select an option to skip/archive a rebalance (although we do not recommend this).
Why add more money to rebalance?
When we rebalance, we sell a stock and use the funds from the sale to fund our buys on the new stocks. In some cases, the amount left after selling is not enough to cover a buy order due to the changing prices in the stock market. Hence, you must add funds to execute the rebalance.
SEBI has also mandated certain margin requirements on orders where only 50% of the funds available can be used to fund purchase orders. This is another reason you might need to add funds to execute a rebalance.
We recommend our clients maintain a small buffer of funds with their broker to ensure seamless rebalancing. Your funds are safe with the broker, and unused funds will be returned to you quarterly.
How to invest in Teji Mandi through SIP?
Our monthly SIP starts at just Rs 6,000. The initial investment value is equal to the current value of Teji Mandi’s portfolio stocks.

As per SEBI norms, we cannot collect upfront payment for any period greater than 6 months, hence this restriction.
How is Teji Mandi different from other advisories?
With over 5,000+ stocks listed on the NSE/BSE, stock market investing can be complicated. Investors are bombarded by stock tips, news, and pieces of advice.
We, at Teji Mandi, cut through the noise and simplify stock market investing for you and help you build a strong long-term portfolio.
Why 15-18 stocks – can you just give me 1-2 stock recommendations?
Teji Mandi is a dedicated and diversified portfolio of 15-20 premium equity stocks. We do not provide any individual or stock-specific advisory because having too much exposure to a few stocks, or a specific industry can adversely affect your returns due to market downside and increased volatility.
Therefore, we prefer investors to invest in at least 15 stocks of diversified portfolios.
How much do I invest now? Should I invest the entire amount now or do a SIP? OR How much to invest initially or lump sum investment amount depends upon the individual’s risk calibre, financial stability and fund allocation. With Teji Mandi, you can start your initial investment with any amount of more than Rs 20,000.
How much to invest initially or lump sum investment depends upon the individual’s risk caliber, financial stability, and fund allocation. With Teji Mandi, you can start your initial investment with any amount of more than Rs 20,000.
Whereas SIP as a disciplined financial approach helps to invest a fixed amount at regular intervals by eliminating the need to constantly monitor the markets and protect the portfolio against market volatility. With Teji Mandi, you can start SIP with a minimum initial amount equal to portfolio value and then a monthly SIP of Rs 6000.
Will you give me guaranteed returns?
As per the past result and data, there is no doubt that equities generate better returns than any other asset class over the long term. As equity markets are subject to market risks with scope for both loss and profits, investment returns vary due to changing dynamics and external market conditions. Teji Mandi believes in managing investors’ capital risk over guaranteeing returns in figures. Also, as per SEBI, we can’t assure any promises on the returns. We aim to partner with you to make you a better investor.
I’ve only made losses so far. How long should I wait to make a profit? OR Your portfolio stocks are not performing well. What should I do? OR How long should I wait for returns?
While investing in the equity stock market, understanding the business cycle is a must-have skill for a retail equity investor. The market is dictated by economic growth’s natural rise and fall – which leads to phases of expansion, peak, contraction, and trough. It’s hard to determine equity returns in shorter-term periods. Therefore Teji Mandi recommends that investors stay invested for at least one year to determine the overall portfolio performance and market indications.
What is a smallcase?
The term ‘Smallcase’ is synonymous with a company of the same name. It uses the RA model for investing and is modelled around legacy portfolio management strategies that have so far been reserved for large investors. In simple terms, ‘Smallcase’ refers to a collection of a group of stocks based on a certain sector, technology or theme that SEBI-approved fund managers manage. No lock-in periods, affordable investment options, theme-based asset classes etc., are some of the features of Smallcase.

What are the differences between Free vs Paid Smallcases?
While some Smallcase is free, some have subscription fees attached for use. Paid smallcases, also known as fee-based smallcases, are portfolios curated by SEBI-registered experts and provide a detailed view of constituents. The respective smallcase managers charge the fee, which may vary as per the services offered.

What is a Flagship portfolio?
Teji Mandi Flagship is a concentrated portfolio of 15-20 stocks from the Nifty 500 that blends short-term tactical bets with long-term winners.
What is the investment philosophy of the Flagship portfolio?
Liquid Stocks: We pick stocks from the Nifty 500, providing optimum liquidity.
Focused Stock Picking: We combine a portfolio of short-term tactical bets with long-term winners. This ensures that the investor gets the advantage of stocks that would compound over a 12-18 month period and is able to take advantage of a special company/sector situation from a 3-6 month perspective.
Disciplined Selling: We look to protect investor capital by exiting stocks under 3 situations:
- Company or industry fundamentals have started to change;
- Too much negativity around a company or sector;
- An extreme macroeconomic/market situation.
In some cases, we exit volatile stocks and hold the corresponding percentage of the portfolio in stable Liquid ETFs. Once an opportunity arises, we will deploy the capital in stocks that meet our criteria.
What is a Multiplier portfolio?
The multiplier portfolio is a concentrated yet well-diversified portfolio of midcap and smallcap stocks. These stocks are likely to be winners of tomorrow and hence hold the promise of significant wealth creation in the times to come.
What is the investment philosophy of the Multiplier portfolio?
Capital Allocation: We look for companies with a superior track record of capital allocation. Excellent corporate governance and capital allocation track record and strong, sustainable competitive advantages ensure that we identify winners.
Low Coverage of Mid and Smallcap: Analyst coverage of mid and smallcap stocks is much lower than large caps. This gives the fund manager an edge in spotting good businesses early and generating higher alpha.
Favourable Cyclical Upturn: Small and midcaps tend to perform in extremes and revive sharply after bouts of negative returns. After the correction in small caps in the past three years, we expect a significant revival in performance.
Which is the investment option for me between Flagship and Multiplier?
A detailed explanation of the differences in both portfolios is given below.

While Multiplier is a concentrated yet well-diversified portfolio of midcap and smallcap stocks. This portfolio is higher risk but expected to generate strong returns over the long-term of 4-5 years. The stocks in the Multiplier portfolio are potential multibaggers.
