What should be your portfolio allocation in volatile times with macro headwinds? Radhika Gupta answers
Synopsis Radhika Gupta shares insights on the Indian mutual fund industry's growth. The industry has seen a significant rise in AUM and retail participation. Digital access and industry efforts have contributed to this growth. Gupta advises investors to manage money according to their goals. She suggests investment strategies for different risk profiles. Radhika Gupta, MD & CEO, Edelweiss AMC, had predicted a year of returns consolidation for 2025 in the beginning of the year. She has been advising tempered expectations due to global volatility from geopolitics, economic policy changes, and tariffs. Despite a recent earnings growth slowdown in India, a rebound is expected in the second half of the year, driven by government efforts to boost consumption. For equity-focused aggressive investors, Gupta recommend flexi and multicap funds, emphasizing mid-cap potential due to strong earnings growth and representation of future-oriented sectors like healthcare and capital markets. Moderate investors may find balanced advantage or aggressive hybrid funds suitable, offering a mix of equity and debt with tax efficiency. ADVERTISEMENT Let me start with the journey that the mutual fund industry in India has seen. Let us take a decade, from an AUM of Rs 8 lakh crore, it now stands at Rs 65 lakh crore. What has been that inflection point for the Indian markets and especially for the mutual fund industry which triggered such kind of growth and which was supportive? Radhika Gupta: The last 16 years have included the golden decade for the mutual fund industry. Of that, this government has been in power. The numbers are very surprising. From Rs 8 lakh crore industry AUM, it is now close to Rs 70 lakh crore, but also what is more interesting is we have gone from maybe 4 crore folios to 23 odd crore folios. Why did equity mutual fund inflows drop by 22% in May? If you look at mutual funds as a percentage of bank deposits, we have gone from 10% to 30%. More of the AUM has become retail. More of the AUM has become equity. More people are investing via SIPs. More distributors are out there. It is a development of the whole ecosystem. And a bunch of things have contributed to it. One is the confidence in the India story. Finally, when you are investing in equities, it reflects a confidence in the country in the equity market and the growth of companies, the level of aspiration. The marketing on the India story has been very strong. Second, digital access over the last 10 years has become much better. It started from the time when we got Jan Dhan to enable broader access and then so many digital initiatives that have happened, the whole growth of fintech have now made mutual funds accessible to a much wider class of people, across a much wider class of cities, so that has helped. Third is a lot of effort by our own industry. For instance, Mutual Fund Sahi Hai as a campaign to create awareness in 2017, really has made this instrument a household instrument. Of course, we have a long way to go. ADVERTISEMENT As a woman investor, and manager of an over Rs 1.3 lakh-crore fund, how do you manage your money? According to data, women's participation in mutual funds has more than doubled since 2019, the SIP AUM has grown 4x. We want to know how you manage your money and that should give us a lot of knowledge of how we can look at managing our own. Radhika Gupta: First, women's statistics across the board vis-s-vis financial inclusion and involvement have gone up. By the way, even women's bank account numbers are up to 80% from 50%. I was told that one out of four unique MF investors now is a woman. In the case of our own AMC, that is probably 30% women investors. So, this trend is moving. How do I manage my own money? It is very simple. It is very dal chawal in my own words. Women make great investors once they understand the basics of investing. I look at my goals and I manage money according to my goals. I think 90% of my portfolio is mutual funds and mutual fund investments. And I really look at where I want to go in terms of one-year goals, three-year goals, five-year goals, and my long-term money goes into equity. My medium-term money goes into hybrid funds. My short-term money goes into debt funds. But really, that is what it is. ADVERTISEMENT Now, let us talk about the markets because of late, the SIP numbers are growing. The participation is also there. But there are redemptions also and that is because the construct of the market post September we have seen the markets getting a little jittery. Now, at this point in time we are seeing the geopolitical tensions on the rise, there is trade war and what else, the crude is also on the boil. Give us your reading on the markets. Radhika Gupta: I said this at the beginning of 2025 that after a reasonably un-volatile time post Covid and extraordinary returns, perhaps we should see 2025 as a year of returns consolidation. So, taper down your expectations. Do not sit at the extreme event end of the risk spectrum because there are actually twin factors that are happening. One, the world has not looked this volatile in a while. The combination of geopolitical events in multiple parts of the world, change in economic policy in multiple parts of the world, and the whole noise around tariffs that we have seen, the world map has not looked so volatile. Although, I do believe that as far as something like tariffs have come, the markets have gone up and down, but now they have digested a lot of the noise. But volatility is here to continue. ADVERTISEMENT Secondly, we have seen a subdued period of earnings growth in the last four-five quarters in India which we think will start to pick up towards the second half of the year given the effort the government has done around pushing up consumption, lot of new orders happening. So, we inherited a tricky global map and a little bit of slowdown that should reverse itself as we go to the second half of the year. The structural story continues to be very strong and I would say as far as the SIP book is concerned, people have been watching this Rs 25,000-26,000 crore number with bated breath, but it has been remarkably resilient. Of course, customers that do SIPs will also redeem from those folios for goals because they want to book profits because of markets. But net-net, at least in my tenure of this industry, I have seen this book grow from Rs 4,000 crore to Rs 26,000 crore. SIP has become a way of investing, a way of saving that appeal. So, I would actually love to see a big Indian goal at a one lakh crore per month SIP book. ADVERTISEMENT We mentioned that we have not seen such geopolitical tensions or such volatile times in a while. Now, for someone who is not very good at stock picking or someone who does not want to navigate this volatile market, mutual funds are the safest option but it is a very large universe to pick from. How does one go about picking the right type of mutual fund? What should my portfolio allocation look like at this juncture when clearly there are macro headwinds? Radhika Gupta: So, I will give you some advice, but the first thing that people should do is to take the benefit of a financial advisor because I really believe with the number of options in the fund universe out there and each individual's investment needs being different, portfolios have to be more customised. I really believe people should take help out there. I would give you three quick frameworks for different types of investors. For aggressive investors who want to be equity oriented, this is a time to be in flexi and multicap products. I am not saying largecaps and I am not saying smallcaps. This is the time to be in the middle of the spectrum. You do not want to be 100% largecap because you see earnings growth in the midcap space. You see a lot of the stories and a lot of the sectors that represent the India of tomorrow, your hospitals, your hotels, your capital goods, capital markets, all of them are present in the mid and smallcap space. So, build a curated flexicap or multicap fund. It will give you very nice blended exposure. For moderate investors, the hybrid fund space is good, especially categories like Balanced Advantage or Aggressive Hybrid. These are khichdi categories. They have equity, debt, and they do a good job with tax efficiency. For conservative investors, we have forgotten a little bit about fixed income as an asset class, especially post the change in taxation. But there are very good tax efficient fixed income solutions out there on the mutual fund platform. Arbitrage, income plus arbitrage are what people should look at.

Cash isn't king! Radhika Gupta explains why sitting idle doesn't work in mutual funds
Every time the market dips, investors applaud those sitting on piles of cash. But Edelweiss Mutual Fund follows a different playbook — keeping cash levels around 2–3%, and never breaching even 10%. Radhika Gupta , MD & CEO of Edelweiss AMC , believes equity fund managers are hired to pick stocks, not to time markets or predict geopolitics. Taking big cash calls, she warns, can be risky. 'If something looks expensive, shift within the universe,' she says. Edited excerpts on a chat with Radhika Gupta on SIPs, cash calls and asset allocation.

We saw how the market started falling from September and then recovered in the last 3 months. All this while SIP investors have stayed put and SIP inflows didn't fell that much. Radhika Gupta: It is a structural trend. People are growing up. You do not lose money. I had said this four months ago in the peak of all this pandemonium that the minimum return in SIP on Edelweiss Midcap Fund over 10 years is 9%. It is not a big deal. You just have to hang out. And SIPs are something people are beginning to develop structural faith in, because it is not a returns-focused product only. It is a savings and investment solution. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo One-two months of market correction does not make people stop their SIPs. It is a way for me to save as a salaried person and consistently invest in the market. And by the way, if the market falls, I get more units. Maybe our industry has done a good job of education. Some of us were screaming all day on social media and your platforms. Now it shows that people are actually listening to us. Imagine if people had stopped all those SIPs four months ago. The SIP has survived. The frenzy in smallcaps is also coming back at the same time now. Radhika Gupta: I do not know what you mean by frenzy. But smallcap returns have certainly come back. I do not think smallcaps are super cheap anymore. We started the year on a very turbulent note, with so much global uncertainty and the pressure of domestic earnings. And then we also had a big geopolitical event. Now, tariff and geopolitical uncertainty has taken a pause. The market has digested that in some sense. What needs to come back now is earnings growth, which is what we will look forward to in the second half of the year. Live Events A lot of investors who were sitting on cash in between have now been suffering from FOMO . How do you deal with cash allocation? Radhika Gupta: We have had an institutional policy to not take cash calls in equity funds for the last 7-8 years. It gets very criticised in months where markets fall because people think, oh, cash wala mahan hai . But it is very, very, very hard to take cash calls because our fund managers, or at least the people we hire, are stock selection guys. They are sector selection guys. They do not have the ability to predict geopolitics. Most people do not have the ability to predict what world leaders are doing with tariffs overnight. And so, taking cash calls can be very dangerous. When do you cut and when do you re-enter, especially and so, we leave that to science. We think that we are okay if someone gives us less money because they want to take an asset allocation. We have a cash component of 2-3% but it will never touch 10% even. Also read | Staying invested and patient pays off for 'Dumber' investors against timing market: Radhika Gupta That's right but some people shifted to cash because they found valuations to be very expensive in the peak of the bull market last year. So how do you deal with the valuation problem? Radhika Gupta: Then let the investor give you less money. When we manage our midcap fund, we are managing a relative return fund. You are trying to beat the benchmark. When an investor gives you money, she has told you that I want midcap exposure. If she does not want midcap exposure, she will not give you money and she should not give you money. So, my job is to beat the midcap index. If I find valuations a challenge in defence, I should move to IT or wherever I find valuation attractive. So, within the universe, I move to baskets of less overpriced valuation. But I have got money to deploy in midcaps and not got money to sit on cash. That is the way we think of it. So, for someone who has a moderate risk profile, what should be the ideal asset allocation at this point of time? Radhika Gupta: It should be a very middle path in nature - flexi or multicap in nature. So, we are of this belief that people tend to be very binary. They either like only mid and smallcaps or they shift to largecaps. When you are thinking decadally, you should think about wider representation of the economy and that becomes flexicap for conservative investors and multicap for aggressive investors. You actually have a mix of both paths. That's because a lot of critical themes, hotels, hospitals, capital markets, capital goods of the decade are mid and smallcap leaders. And India is a strange country in the sense that our midcap index is based on ranks. It is not based on market cap. And structurally, the largecap index is designed for a few sectors. Banks because they are large and have high free float. And then there are energy and some IT companies. You will get a very concentrated exposure if you are only into largecaps. And in terms of other asset classes? Radhika Gupta: People forgot fixed income over the last few years. So, you need to have fixed income exposure. Gold exposure is good. Also I believe people should have international fund exposure. Again, people tend to be a little return-chasing on that. But having the two major US and Chinese markets is usually a good idea. Can you summarise the kind of lessons that we have learnt as an investor in the last few months? Radhika Gupta: We have learnt the same lessons we learn every time, which is to focus on asset allocation, do not forget fixed income. Do things that are simple and dal chawal kind of investing.
