Trading on stock exchanges

Financial experts suggest to hold on to shares until they reach 70-80% on the offer price. This could be anywhere between ₹1,870- ₹1,980.  HDFC AMC is the second largest player by AUM growing at a 15-20% per annum. So analysts predict that business performances in the longer run will attract more AUMs (Asset Under Management) which will have a strong impact on growth.

Some experts also suggest that owing to the oversubscription of the IPO and its high listing at stock exchanges, a correction is bound to happen before more growth. So when the prices fall below 30 %, they suggest buying option for investors who are eyeing the secondary market.
