 instead of IPO buying, best alternative to get advantage in mutual fund scheme today in nse?

ChatGPT said:

Instead of directly investing in IPOs, which can be speculative and volatile, here are 5 strong mutual fund alternatives that can give you better long-term and risk-adjusted returns—especially via the NSE (National Stock Exchange) today:

✅ 1. Mutual Fund NFOs (New Fund Offers) – The Safer IPO Alternative

  • Why? Like IPOs, NFOs are new schemes, but regulated by SEBI with better diversification.

  • Best For: Thematic or sectoral exposure (like EVs, Artificial Intelligence, PSU, Infra, ESG, etc.)

  • Today’s Example: Check for live NFOs on platforms like Groww, Zerodha Coin, or NSE MF.

✅ 2. Mid-Cap and Small-Cap Mutual Funds

  • Why? These segments tend to benefit most when markets recover and are less crowded than IPOs.

  • Suggested Funds:

    • Bandhan Small Cap Fund – Direct Growth

    • Quant Small Cap Fund – Direct Growth

    • Nippon India Small Cap Fund – Direct Growth

✅ 3. Flexi-Cap Mutual Funds – Balanced Yet Aggressive

  • Why? They give you IPO-like growth (via small/mid caps) with downside protection (via large caps).

  • Suggested Funds:

    • Parag Parikh Flexi Cap Fund – Direct Growth

    • Motilal Oswal Flexi Cap Fund – Direct Growth

✅ 4. ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) – If You Want Market-Like Liquidity

  • Why? ETFs can be traded like stocks on NSE but give exposure to indexes and sectors.

  • Examples:

    • Nifty 50 ETF or Nifty Next 50 ETF

    • PSU Bank ETF, CPSE ETF

    • Motilal Oswal Nifty Midcap 150 ETF

✅ 5. SIP in IPO-Focused Funds

  • Why? Some mutual funds actively invest in pre-IPO and IPO-bound companies (via unlisted exposure).

  • Example: ICICI Prudential Technology Fund, Kotak Emerging Equity Fund
    (They pick IPO-bound or high-growth small firms)
