This is a multi-asset, long-only core portfolio designed for Indian retail investors seeking broad market exposure with built-in inflation hedges. It blends large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap equity ETFs with international diversification via the Nasdaq 100, hard-asset protection through Gold, passive income from a REIT, and capital preservation via a Liquid ETF.

Built for a 7–10 year minimum horizon, it targets a CAGR of 12–16% over full market cycles. It accepts moderate-to-high short-term volatility, with historical peak drawdowns in the range of −30% to −45% during severe bear markets — comparable to the broader Nifty 50. Cross-asset diversification meaningfully dampens correlation-driven crashes and smooths the ride.
