PPFAS Mutual Fund is the brand under which PPFAS Asset Management Private Limited (CIN: U65100MH2011PTC220623), a Mumbai-headquartered SEBI-registered Indian asset management company, distributes investment products to retail and HNI investors across India. Sponsored by Parag Parikh Financial Advisory Services Limited (founded 1992) and supported by PPFAS Trustee Company Private Limited as the scheme trustee, the AMC manages approximately Rs 1.62 lakh crore (~$14.9 billion) in investor assets as of June 2026, with the flagship Parag Parikh Flexi Cap Fund alone accounting for Rs 1,41,446.73 crore and recognized as India's largest actively managed equity fund.

The core investment methodology is a value-investing framework inspired by Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, executed via quantitative screening, scrutiny of public filings, fundamental research on industries and peers, historical financial analysis, and valuation studies that combine historical and peer benchmarks with internal intrinsic-value estimates. Portfolio construction follows internal prudential guidelines and SEBI regulations, with documented willingness to hold elevated cash (17.67% of AUM, Rs 26,104 crore, as of May 2026) and a high-conviction, concentrated approach. Underlying technology includes the PPFAS SelfInvest mobile/web application enabling 24/7 folio creation, purchases, redemptions, and SIP/STP/SWP execution, and the PPFAS Partners portal for distributors; the firm is ISO 27001:2022 certified for information security management.

PPFAS generates revenue primarily through the Total Expense Ratio (TER) charged on assets under management across its mutual fund schemes, with differentiated direct and regular plan NAVs. Distribution combines a direct-to-consumer digital channel (SelfInvest app), a Mutual Fund Distributor / RIA network via the PPFAS Partner portal, CAMS service centres, and a physical footprint of 20 branch offices plus 11 representative offices across India. Customer segments span Individual Retail Investors (primary), Tax-conscious Investors (ELSS, NPS), New/Small Investors (Choti SIP at Rs 250/month), and HNI/Ultra-HNI Investors, priced via unit-based NAV across all schemes.
