PPFAS Mutual Fund has announced a new investment option called the Parag Parikh Large Cap Fund. This new scheme is being launched through a New Fund Offering (NFO), which opened for investors on January 19, 2026,
and will remain open until January 30, 2026. After the NFO period ends, the fund will reopen for regular subscriptions on February 6, 2026.
This is the seventh fund launched by PPFAS Mutual Fund since the company started operations.
Investment Objective and Strategy
According to the fund house, the Parag Parikh Large Cap Fund aims to offer cost-efficient investment opportunities in large-cap companies.
The fund will follow a portfolio strategy that stays close to its benchmark index. By doing this, the scheme seeks to reduce unnecessary trading, lower transaction costs, and avoid extra overhead expenses.
The fund will use smart portfolio management tools and limit active shareholding to keep costs under control.
The focus will be on disciplined investing rather than frequent buying and selling of stocks, which can increase expenses for investors.
Minimum Investment and Plan Options
Investors can start investing in this scheme with a minimum amount of ₹1,000, and additional investments can be made in multiples of ₹1 thereafter.
The fund does not charge any entry load or exit load, making it more attractive for long-term investors.
The scheme will be available in both Direct and Regular plans. It will offer options such as growth and income distribution, along with capital withdrawal facilities, giving investors flexibility based on their financial goals.
Fund Management Team and Advanced Strategies
The fund will be managed by an experienced team that includes Rajiv Thakkar, Raunawak Omkar, Raj Mehta, Rukun Tarachandani, Tejas Soman, and Aishwarya Dhar.
Rukun Tarachandani, EVP and Fund Manager at PPFAS, explained that the scheme will use advanced strategies such as:
Strategic use of discounted single-stock and index futures
Merger-based arbitrage opportunities
Smart portfolio rebalancing
Staggered investments during important corporate events
The company has stated that it plans to keep total active shareholding below 10%, which aligns with its low-cost and benchmark-oriented investment approach.
What the Management Says
Neil Parag Parikh, Chairman and CEO of PPFAS Mutual Fund, said that many investors are increasingly looking for transparent, stable, and cost-efficient large-cap funds.
He added that this new scheme has been designed to meet those expectations by focusing on smart execution and the goal of delivering better returns at lower costs.
