Portfolio Overlap & PCA Analysis

Most "diversified" portfolios aren't. An investor holding a Large Cap + Flexi Cap + Multi Asset fund may believe they own three strategies — but all three often hold the same top 5 names.

Verified example: HDFC Large Cap Fund — Top 10 holdings as on 28 February 2025

Source: HDFC AMC official factsheet, hdfcfund.com

Rank Stock % of NAV
#1 HDFC Bank Ltd. 10.28
#2 ICICI Bank Ltd. 9.62%
#3 Larsen & Toubro Ltd. 5.66%
#4 Bharti Airtel Ltd. 5.52%
#5 Infosys Ltd. 5.41%
→ HDFC Bank + ICICI Bank alone = 19.9% of this "diversified" large cap fund. Now add a Flexi Cap or Multi Asset fund from the same or another house — these same 2 stocks almost certainly appear again. Your portfolio isn't as diversified as it looks on paper.

Our overlap analysis maps every stock across all your funds and shows your true concentration — before it becomes a problem.

Benchmark-Relative Performance

Most investors only look at absolute returns. We go deeper — measuring whether your returns actually justify the risk you're taking, relative to the right benchmark.

Client Stories

Results That Speak
For Themselves

"

Before BARS, my retirement planning was basically a bunch of FDs and hope. They gave us an actual structure; which money grows, which money pays the bills, what happens if markets fall early. I questioned them a lot before committing. Every answer came back with logic, not jargon. My wife and I finally feel like someone is accountable for our plan.

"

Honestly, I was ready to stop investing in India altogether too many funds, endless paperwork, KYC updates, and unclear picture of where I stood. BARS quietly took the admin off my plate, cleaned up the overlaps, and built one tight portfolio I can actually explain. My India investing just runs in the background now.

"

BARS Wealth gave me a holistic view of my assets that I was missing as an NRI. They brought Private Equity access to the table, the missing link in my long-term plan. Even with direct fund manager relationships, their financial planning added real value.
