Mimicking fund manager's stock picks not a good idea!

Mimicking a Fund Manager’s stock picks can work both ways. You may end up picking a winner or the stock pick could turn out to be mediocre. Its 50-50. Everybody including fund managers thought that post covid IT stocks do well, but it turned out otherwise. You get to know about the portfolio of a scheme as on the last day of a month only in the first week of the subsequent month. There is no mention of the price at which the stock was bought. And there is a fair chance that the stock price may have moved after the fund manager bought the stock. This can go against you, especially in buoyant times, when prices rise quickly.
