Empowering investors to reap profit from the real estate sector
Fintech has transformed the way we invest. Not only has it made investments easy and hassle-free, it has also led to the emergence of more sophisticated investment avenues.
We take a look at SmartOwner, a start-up in the real estate space. SmartOwner was founded in 2012 at a time when the fintech revolution in India had not yet reached real estate.

Base Expense Ratio
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has changed how mutual fund expenses are disclosed by introducing the base expense ratio (BER). Sebi approved the change on December 17, 2025, under the new Sebi (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 2026. Previously, investors kept a track of their mutual fund expenses through the total expense ratio (TER), which combined fund management fees with taxes and statutory charges, such as goods and services tax (GST) and securities transactions tax (STT). This made it difficult for investors to see what fund houses actually charged. In contrast, BER includes only the core expenses of running a mutual fund scheme, and statutory charges are disclosed separately.
