Picking the next big IPO feels like a sport in India right now.
Everyone wants the multi-bagger listing pop.
Few actually get it.
So when Radhika Gupta, MD & CEO of Edelweiss Mutual Fund, opened her laptop yesterday and posted on X — investors paid attention.
Her message was simple. Almost blunt.
👉 Stop trying to pick IPOs every month. Let a fund do it. And do it via SIP.
The fund in question: Edelweiss Recently Listed IPO Fund.
Its whole job? Buy into companies that just rang the bell on the exchange.
Up to 100 recently listed names + upcoming IPOs, picked bottom-up, heavy on small and mid-caps.
It's been running since February 2018.
It now manages ₹1,004 crore.
And it sits firmly in the very high risk bucket. 🔥
Here's what ₹10,000 would have done inside this fund (as of May 31, 2026):
In a year where the NIFTY 50 actually lost money, this fund made you 13%+.
That's the hook.
She flagged two things upfront. Rare for a fund CEO.
1️⃣ Diversification? Limited. The portfolio overlaps with other schemes because the theme is narrow by design.
2️⃣ Volatility? Plenty. Mid, small and micro-cap exposure means sharp swings — both ways.
Her fix isn't don't invest.
It's don't try to time it.
IPOs in India are emotional money.
Grey market premiums. Listing-day fireworks. Telegram tips.
The average retail investor is chasing the pop — and often eating the crash.
An SIP flips that game.
You drip money in every month.
You buy the dips automatically.
You skip the which IPO this Friday? anxiety completely.
India listed a record-breaking pipeline of IPOs over the last two years.
Most retail investors couldn't possibly research them all.
Gupta's point cuts cleanly through the noise:
You don't need to pick the winner. You need a system that keeps showing up.
The IPO frenzy isn't slowing down.
The smart money is just choosing to ride it with discipline instead of FOMO.
That's all for now!
