Big news!
Kresha Gupta, Founder & Director of StepTrade Share Service Pvt. Ltd., has been featured in Business Insider, where she shares her expert insights on SME IPO investments.
In the article, Kresha dives into the opportunities and risks that come with investing in small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) IPOs, offering crucial advice on how to navigate this growing market.
SME IPOs: Opportunities and Risks
SME IPOs present a unique opportunity for investors looking to diversify their portfolios. While they offer potential for significant returns, they also come with their own set of risks.
In her feature, Kresha discusses:
- Short-Term Focus Can Lead to Poor Decisions
Kresha emphasizes that retail investors, in particular, should avoid viewing SME IPOs as quick money-makers based on short-term performance. This mindset can often lead to poor investment decisions, especially if investors get swept up by initial hype or market volatility. - Focus on Long-Term Fundamentals
To mitigate risks, Kresha advises investors to focus on long-term fundamentals rather than just short-term price movements. Key indicators include the participation of institutional investors like DIIs (Domestic Institutional Investors) and FIIs (Foreign Institutional Investors). This often signals confidence in the stock.
Why You Should Care About SME IPOs?
For many investors, SME IPOs are an appealing option for growth potential. These businesses are typically at the start of their expansion journey, offering investors the chance to get in early before these companies make their mark on the market. However, because these companies are smaller and newer, they often face challenges like limited access to capital, unproven business models, and higher volatility.
At StepTrade, we are committed to empowering our investors with the knowledge and resources they need to make smart, informed decisions.
