Is it a good idea to invest in stocks which are already part of your mutual funds ?

Is it a good idea to invest in stocks which are already part of your mutual funds ?

Have started investing a couple of weeks ago. Risk appetite is high, end goal is not trading but beating inflation.

Here are my concerns

1. It can have a doubling down effect, can amplify profit and loss either way
2. MF managers are already paid to monitor such stocks, I believe the purpose of me investing a mutual fund gets defeated if both are monitoring the same basket of stocks

Tata Steel 60 – 129.23

UPL 30 – 611.45

Bharat Electronics 30 – 138.05
