Trading is all about making quick decisions when you spot opportunities.

The Portfolio Performance Curve shows the actual performance of your investments and trades (equity, mutual funds (MF), MTF, F&O, intraday, and commodities) after accounting for cash inflows and outflows.

We first decided to waive brokerage for equity delivery in December 2015. Until then, we charged the lower of 0.1% or Rs 20. This move was to change our image from a broker just for speculation, which was the case back then. A lot of people (sometimes even I) wondered if this would just be […]

A comfortable retirement is the ultimate goal we all work for, but most Indians don’t save for their retirement. This is why we introduced NPS on Coin last year One of the best ways to save for retirement is through the National Pension Scheme (NPS). It’s not only one of the lowest cost investment options […]

Kite and Coin are two of our primary transaction platforms. Kite is designed for active traders, while Coin is meant for long-term investors who invest in mutual funds.

Before we begin, here’s an […]

It’s the end of another year, and it’s a good time to look back on the year that was. Performance-wise, 2024 was a weird year. Whether you were bullish or bearish, the markets gave everyone something. When you look at the broad indices, it was a good year for the markets. Look underneath the indices, […]
