Should I invest in smallcase?

There are two parts to investing via smallcase:

the tooling around managing a watchlist of stocks, which enables us to execute transactions at portfolio level rather than at scrip level
the basket of stocks offered by smallcase themselves, such as the Low Risk - Smart Beta smallcase, which can have a collection of stocks, ETFs, commodities etc.
