Core Platform Philosophy

Why we don't offer Futures & Options (F&O)

Official research studies by the market regulator revealed that nearly 9 in 10 individual traders in equity derivatives (F&O) suffer net financial losses, with the average loss exceeding ₹1.1 lakh per person.

Many retail brokerages generate the bulk of their revenue by nudging first-time investors into high-leverage options trading. We believe that is fundamentally misaligned with investor well-being.

Seedvest was built to help Indian families grow durable wealth through long-term equity compounding and direct mutual funds. We would rather help you plant sturdy trees than profit from rapid losses.
