In my experience, evaluating a broker means weighing both product diversity and cost transparency. With Angel One, I noticed the selection of trading instruments is fairly broad for Indian equities market participants. I found they support trading in stocks, derivatives (futures and options), mutual funds, IPOs, commodities, and access to U.S. equities. However, it's important to emphasize that Angel One does not provide forex, indices, cryptocurrencies, bonds, or ETF trading, which could limit flexibility if you want a more global or multi-asset portfolio. For me, this product scope works primarily if my focus is Indian securities and some U.S. exposure—a significant consideration if you trade primarily within these markets. Regarding their fees, I appreciate that Angel One structures charges to be competitive for India. They offer zero brokerage for the first ₹500 in trades within 30 days, which can provide some early cost savings for new users. After this period, I find the rates—capped at ₹20 per executed order or a percentage-based commission—relatively attractive, especially for smaller, retail portfolios. However, it's important to point out that additional regulatory and statutory fees apply, and these can accumulate, especially with frequent trading. While their cost schedule is straightforward, I always recommend reading the fine print and tallying potential charges based on your trading frequency and volume. Overall, Angel One’s strengths in fees and product range suit certain investor profiles, but limitations remain if your needs extend to global or diversified asset classes.
