Problem

A smallcase exit survey revealed that 25-30% of users exit smallcases to get cash in their bank

Solution

To address this, smallcase introduced a feature allowing users to take loans against their mutual funds.

Currently smallcase allows users to track their investments like stock, mutual funds & smallcases. Out of which mutual funds have the biggest AUM of 10k+ Cr with 1+ lac users.

It was obvious for us to solve for Mutual funds investors first who were looking to exit any of their investments in need of cash.
