Headquartered in Kolkata

"I watched brilliant people lose millions to bad financial advice."

Before starting Crafty Finance, I realized a dark truth about the Indian wealth management industry: it is built to serve the distributor, not the investor.

Hardworking families in Kolkata were being sold terrible ULIPs just so their bank RM could hit a monthly target. Portfolios were bleeding 1.5% every year in hidden mutual fund commissions.

I built Crafty Finance to be the exact opposite. We are a math-driven, fee-only advisory firm. We execute strictly through Direct mutual funds (via ZFund), flat-fee brokerages (via Sharekhan), and pure term insurance (via HDFC Life).

Our model is brutally simple: We only succeed when your portfolio grows.

Switched from regular to direct mutual funds through ZFund on Crafty's advice. The math was undeniable — I was losing ₹1.2L per year in hidden commissions. Best financial decision of my life.

Got my entire portfolio XIRR calculated for the first time through the client portal. 14.7% across 5 years. Seeing the actual number made me completely rethink how I was managing SIPs.

I work in finance, so I was skeptical. But their direct plan + index fund strategy is mathematically bulletproof. The transparency is unlike anything I've seen from Indian advisors.

My previous broker was churning my portfolio every quarter. Crafty Finance completely stopped that and switched me to a low-cost index core. My returns improved by 4% just from cost reduction.

₹80K/mo at retirement

On a professor's salary, every rupee counts. Their SWP retirement plan showed me I could retire comfortably at 58 with a monthly income of ₹80K from my corpus. No bank ever modeled this for me.

I had ₹50L sitting in FDs earning 6.5%. They migrated it into a debt + equity laddered strategy. My effective post-tax return jumped to 10.2%. No risk appetite change, just smarter structure.

Straight Answers

Frequently Asked
Questions.

We believe in total transparency. Here is exactly how we operate, why we chose our partners, and how we protect your wealth.

Still have questions? Let's talk→
A fee-only financial planner is compensated directly by you for their advice, rather than earning hidden commissions from mutual fund houses or insurance companies. This completely eliminates conflicts of interest, ensuring that every piece of advice—from asset allocation to fund selection—is mathematically optimized for your wealth, not the broker's payout.
Regular mutual funds extract a 'trailing commission' of 1% to 1.5% from your corpus every single year, secretly paid to your distributor. Direct mutual funds, executed through platforms like ZFund, have zero distributor commissions. Over a 20-year SIP horizon, choosing Direct over Regular can save you up to 30% of your total wealth.
We use a Zero-Knowledge Architecture. When you upload your NSDL or CDSL Consolidated Account Statement (CAS) PDF, our proprietary engine parses the file entirely inside your local browser instance. Your raw financial data and passwords are never uploaded to our servers, guaranteeing institutional-grade privacy.
Sharekhan provides one of the most robust, low-latency execution engines in India, which is critical for derivatives trading. Through our partnership, clients get flat ₹20/order pricing on F&O trades, completely eliminating the percentage-based brokerage drag that normally destroys retail trading accounts.
A ULIP (Unit Linked Insurance Plan) mixes insurance with investment, usually resulting in terrible returns (4-5%) and massive hidden fees designed to pay huge agent commissions. We strongly advise against them. Instead, we structure a Pure Term Insurance policy (for massive, cheap life cover) alongside NIFTY Index Funds (for maximum market returns).
The Income Tax Act mandates the First-In-First-Out (FIFO) method for calculating capital gains. Our algorithm identifies your oldest mutual fund units that have breached the 1-year mark and executes targeted redemptions to legally harvest up to ₹1.25 Lakhs of tax-free Long Term Capital Gains (LTCG) every financial year.
