Radhika Gupta, the CEO of Edelweiss Mutual Fund, recently spoke out against clickbait articles that call mutual funds scams and say retail investors are foolish. She confidently stated that Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) can really make money for those who invest in them. Gupta mentioned that if you check the 10-year returns of an SIP in an equity fund, even during times when the stock market does not perform its best, SIPs allow fund managers to invest money slowly and steadily.
These days, monthly SIP investments have reached ₹26,000 crore, showing that millions of people trust this method. Gupta believes this trust is what keeps our capital markets stable, especially when foreign investors are pulling out money quickly. She explained that the mutual fund industry has created a tool not just for investing but also for regular saving, which is very important for Indian investors.
In her social media post, she said it’s impressive that so many common people are using SIPs and believing in them. She highlighted that this monthly trust worth ₹26,000 crore helps stabilize our markets.
Gupta also pointed out that SIPs have quickly cultivated a culture of retail investment in India, which is something many other countries struggle to achieve. She added that in the past, people viewed the stock market as just a risky gamble. Today, individuals want to save regularly and grow their SIP investments.
Radhika Gupta sees SIPs as a smart way for Indians to save and grow their money. She thinks this should be celebrated, not downplayed. She criticized the clickbait articles claiming mutual funds are scams, saying they don’t help the public.
