The edge isn't picking winners. It's not losing.
Most strategies chase return. The Enhanced F+ engine chases survival first — and lets return follow.
Across a full crash it participated on the way up and stepped aside on the way down. The result wasn't a bigger number. It was a smaller hole.

Reads the regime
It knows the difference between a healthy market and a falling one, and treats them differently. Context before conviction.
Holds quality, diversified
Durable businesses, spread across names and sectors. Never the whole book on a single bet or a single story.
Moves to cash when it matters
When risk rises, it raises cash. That single discipline is what halved the drawdown when the market broke.
“It participates when markets rise, and steps aside when they fall. That discipline — not stock-picking magic — is the edge.”
One engine, four ways in.
From reading the market to connecting your account — each layer does one job, and hands off cleanly to the next.

Market Mode
What is the Indian market saying?
The market-intelligence layer. It reads trend, regime, sector leadership, breadth, filings and earnings — and flags rising risk or opportunity before any portfolio acts. Context, not execution.

Layer 2 · Portfolios
Portfolio Mode
What should my portfolio do about it?
Turns market intelligence into portfolio action — holdings, weights, cash level, rebalance decisions, risk control — all driven by the same validated Enhanced F+ engine. Each style is the same engine with a different tilt, not a separate product.
Eight styles, one engine
Every style runs the same engine. The proven edge is lower drawdown — not guaranteed alpha. Any α shown is illustrative.

Layer 3 · Watchlist
Watchlist
Track what matters, personally.
Watchlist is your personal tracking layer — the names you're studying before you commit. Save the stocks you care about, watch how they move, see where they overlap with MAVEN portfolios, and follow their signals without committing to a portfolio yet. Some may be future holdings, some you already hold at your broker, some you just want to follow closely — MAVEN keeps the list alive with movement, overlap, and what changed today.
Tracks
Watchlist data is for tracking and research — it helps you follow names more closely before acting.

Layer 4 · Broker
Broker
Where insight becomes action.

Insight, then action.
Every model has a different engine.
MAVEN portfolios aren't just different baskets of stocks. Each one follows a distinct strategy, risk profile, and selection logic — some built for steadier performance, some for stronger upside, some for tighter model discipline.
Each portfolio is designed to solve a different job. Defensive aims to hold up better in weaker markets, Growth looks for faster compounding, Momentum follows strength, Income focuses on cash generation, Value looks for mispricing, and Quant uses MAVEN's enhanced F+ engine to rank and select stocks systematically.
Core
Your long-term base portfolio.
Best for
A main long-term portfolio to build around.
How it works · What it looks for
How it works
The foundation basket — broad market exposure through a steadier, benchmark-aware approach rather than one extreme style bet.
What it looks for
Starts from a broad universe and aims for balance, durability, and cleaner overall exposure.
Quality
Strong businesses, chosen for durability.
Best for
Steadier compounding through stronger companies.
How it works · What it looks for
How it works
Favours companies with healthier business strength, better returns on capital, and cleaner balance sheets.
What it looks for
Stronger fundamentals and steadier quality signals over weak businesses that only look cheap or exciting.
Defensive
Built to fall less in bad markets.
Best for
A calmer profile and smaller drawdowns.
How it works · What it looks for
How it works
Designed to hold up better when markets are weak, uncertain, or volatile — resilience over excitement.
What it looks for
Steadier businesses, lower downside risk, and more stable behaviour through rougher periods.
Growth
Higher upside, higher volatility.
Best for
More return potential, if you can handle bigger swings.
How it works · What it looks for
How it works
Backs companies with real expansion potential — where revenue, earnings, or opportunity may still be compounding faster than the market.
What it looks for
Leans into faster growers and accepts more volatility in exchange for stronger upside.
Momentum
Buy what is already strong.
Best for
Trend-following over turnaround investing.
How it works · What it looks for
How it works
Follows market leadership — it aims to own names already showing real price strength and trend persistence.
What it looks for
Ranks stocks by strength and favours the ones already moving well; fading trends fall out.
Income
Built to generate cash flow.
Best for
Steadier cash flow and a more income-oriented style.
How it works · What it looks for
How it works
Focuses on businesses that may offer healthier, more dependable payouts and better cash generation.
What it looks for
Sustainable dividend and cash-return profiles rather than simply chasing the highest yield.
Quant
MAVEN's signature rules-based model.
Best for
MAVEN's strongest model-driven strategy.
How it works · What it looks for
How it works
Powered by the enhanced F+ model — the most systematic book in MAVEN, built on defined signals, ranking logic, and disciplined selection rules.
What it looks for
Instead of picking by feel, it scores names through the enhanced F+ framework and selects the stocks that fit the model best.
Value
Buy undervalued stocks.
Best for
Buying mispriced businesses over chasing hot trends.
How it works · What it looks for
How it works
Looks for companies priced below what their business fundamentals seem to justify.
What it looks for
Stocks that look cheap against earnings, cash flow, or quality — while avoiding the obvious traps.
Contrarian
Back quality when sentiment gets too weak.
Best for
Selective recovery opportunities rather than pure momentum.
How it works · What it looks for
How it works
Looks for situations where the market may be overreacting, but the underlying business still has enough quality to justify attention.
What it looks for
Names where sentiment or price has weakened, but the business still supports a possible recovery or re-rating.
How selection works
Each portfolio starts with a stock universe, applies strategy-specific filters, ranks the eligible names, sets target weights, and updates through rebalances when the strategy changes. That's why the portfolios can look different even inside the same product.
Why portfolios can overlap
A stock can fit more than one strategy at once. One company might be strong enough for Quality, growing fast enough for Growth, and trending well enough for Momentum. Overlap is normal when several strategies independently like the same business.
Why Quant stands out
Quant is MAVEN's signature engine. It uses the enhanced F+ framework to rank, score, and select stocks systematically — making it the most disciplined and model-led portfolio in the stack.
Validated honestly. Negatives documented.
Two market eras
Tested across distinct regimes — including the covid crash — not a single lucky stretch.
Pre-registered targets
Success criteria were written down before the test, so a good result couldn't be invented after the fact.
No look-ahead
Decisions used only the data available on that day. No future knowledge leaked backwards.
Many tried, one passed
A long list of approaches was built and rejected. Enhanced F+ is the one that survived the discipline.
The honest claim
Enhanced F+ beat the Nifty 500 (+129.97% vs +82.17%, 2021–26) at lower drawdown (14.05% vs 18.59%), and survived covid at −13.88% versus the market's ~−38%. Its edge is risk management — earned through rigorous testing, not marketing.
Backtested results — not a live track record. Universe is current index constituents, so absolute returns are optimistic; the return-vs-drawdown edge is the durable signal.
We tried plenty that didn't work — and kept the receipts.
Pure momentum chase
Great in trends, brutal in reversals. Drawdown failed the test.
Single-factor value
Cheap stayed cheap too long. Didn't beat buy-and-hold risk-adjusted.
All-in conviction
Concentrated bets spiked volatility past the pre-registered ceiling.
Always-invested
No cash discipline meant it crashed with the market. Rejected.
Now running forward, live, on real NSE prices.
Real prices daily, decisions recorded at those prices, marked to market, and tracked against the Nifty 500 — an honest, ongoing, public test. No hindsight, no edits.
