Fund managers are adopting two distinct strategies in the fresh offerings market - concentrated bets in select companies or diversified exposure across multiple listings. Sedemac Mechatronics exemplifies the first approach, being the most institutionally held of recent listings with four large fund houses - SBI, ICICI Prudential, Aditya Birla Sun Life, and HDFC - each holding 2.04% to 2.86% stakes. The second strategy shows in selective, higher-weight positions in smaller firms, with Bandhan Mutual Fund taking a 4.98% stake in Amir Chand Jagdish Kumar and Kotak Mahindra holding 4.67% of MV Electrosystems. This diversified approach allows fund houses to capitalize on momentum while managing concentration risk across different market segments.
