One Click Equity allows customers to invest in theme based baskets of stocks/ETFs at a click. One can invest, monitor and exit the portfolios any time one wants at a click. One Click Equity can be broadly classified into two categories – Research Recommended Portfolios and Custom Portfolios.
One can either invest lump sum or invest in a staggered manner by using SIP option, or through MTF (in select portfolios). One can choose the frequency of SIP as monthly/quarterly or yearly as per one’s preference.
Custom Portfolios give you the option to create your own portfolios by adding your favourite stocks in desired quantities. There is no minimum investment amount for Custom Portfolios. Using Custom One Click, up to 50 stocks can be added in one portfolio. Many such portfolios can be created.
A client can choose whether they want to make their investment through SIP, One Time or MTF (Pay Later). However, One Time and SIP are applicable for Cash product only.

Research Recommended Portfolios are the portfolios that have been recommended by our research team after extensive analysis on quantitative and qualitative parameters.

While investing in research recommended portfolios, you need to buy shares in the same ratio as suggested by our research and invest atleast the minimum amount. The minimum amount is unique for each portfolio. 

The performance of portfolios can be monitored under “My One Click” section in iDirect One Click. This section shows the net invested amount, the current value as well as the overall gain/loss %. 
The rationale for investments in a portfolio is shared with customers. The factsheet for each portfolio with details like Portfolio Theme, Investment Profile, Rationale, Market Cap, and Distribution is uploaded on the website. 

Yes, investments can be done multiple times in the same portfolio by using “Lumpsum Invest” option under “My One Click” Tab. Portfolios can be exited by clicking on “Exit Portfolio” under the same Tab.
Portfolios can be created from scratch using Custom One Click. You need to enter details such as portfolio name, description and the weighting scheme (Equi Weighted/Custom Weighted). Stocks can be added in desired quantities. Both lump sum and SIP mode of investments are allowed.

Stocks bought with Pay later (MTF) can be held for 365 calendar days. Clients will need to Pledge their shares to hold positions in Margin Funding beyond T+1 days. In case they do not confirm the pledge then their positions will be squared off on T+2nd day.
Interest will be charged on the outstanding amount funded by ICICIdirect. The applicable interest rate will be based on your pricing plan. Maintain minimum margin for your position to avoid square off due to margin shortfall.

In case of profit booking calls given by Research, SIP requests can be manually cancelled through "View Request Book" section. Portfolios can be exited through "My One Click" section.

At the time of order placement, in case the value of the SIP portfolio exceeds the minimum investment value, then it is possible that some of the stocks may not be purchased, and hence the total value of the purchase shall be less than or equal to the minimum investment value as defined in the portfolio.
Also, where SIP is placed on weights, in case of change in CMP of any stock, the number of shares will be calculated on the original weights as defined. If the number of shares is less than 1, then order for that stock will not be placed. To ensure successful order placement of SIPs, a buffer of 10% above minimum investment amount needs to be allocated to one’s Bank account/Equity section of Trading account.
In cases other than SIP, to ensure successful order placement in case of One Time, a buffer of 2.5% above the investment amount needs to be allocated to one’s Bank account/equity section of Trading account. In case of insufficient funds, an allocation pop up shall be displayed with the required amount.
