Kuvera’s family-account linking lets you operate spouse / parent / child accounts under one login, useful for joint financial planning.

Goal-based investing

Kuvera’s goal feature:

  • Define target (e.g., “Rs 50 lakh for child education in 18 years”).
  • Kuvera computes the required monthly SIP based on assumed return and horizon.
  • Suggests a portfolio of direct-plan funds matching the risk profile.
  • Tracks goal progress over time, flagging if you’re ahead or behind.

This is useful for goal-based investing without manual spreadsheet maintenance.

Tax harvesting

Kuvera’s tax harvesting tool identifies opportunities to:

  • Realise LTCG within the Rs 1.25 lakh exemption to optimise tax basis.
  • Time switches to manage holding period for LTCG eligibility.
  • Generate ITR Schedule CG-ready capital gains reports.

Revenue model

Kuvera, like other direct-plan platforms, doesn’t earn commission from MFs. Revenue comes from premium subscriptions (advanced features, advisor access) and adjacent products.
