How do I evaluate an IPO in India?

To evaluate an IPO in India, look at: (1) Anchor investor quality — domestic MFs like SBI or HDFC investing is a strong signal; (2) GMP vs issue price ratio; (3) Promoter background and pledging; (4) Use of proceeds — growth capex vs debt repayment; (5) Subscription across QIB/HNI/retail. stoicHQ automates all of this into a single IPO quality score.

How do I calculate LTCG tax on Indian stocks?

For Indian equities held more than 12 months, gains above ₹1.25 lakh in a financial year are taxed at 12.5% (LTCG). Gains below ₹1.25L are exempt. For stocks held under 12 months, STCG is taxed at 20%. stoicHQ's tax engine calculates your exact position in real time so you know your bill before March 31.

How do I check if my mutual funds overlap?

Mutual fund overlap happens when two or more funds you hold invest in the same underlying stocks. If HDFC Flexi Cap and Parag Parikh Flexi Cap both hold HDFC Bank and Infosys heavily, you are effectively overweight those stocks without realizing it. stoicHQ's MF Radar shows your actual stock-level exposure across all funds.

Is promoter buying a good signal for Indian stocks?

Yes — SEBI PIT (Prohibition of Insider Trading) regulations require promoters to disclose every purchase within 2 trading days. Promoters buy with their own money and have inside knowledge of the company's trajectory. Research on NSE data from 2016–2025 shows promoter buy signals generate ~10% annualised alpha over Nifty50 on a 20-day holding period. stoicHQ tracks all NSE PIT disclosures and surfaces the strongest signals daily.
