PPFAS to Introduce 3 Global FoFs: Passive and Active Funds Target International Opportunities

Parag Parikh Financial Advisory Services (PPFAS), the fund house behind the Parag Parikh Mutual Fund, is gearing up to introduce three international equity Fund of Funds (FoFs) within the next year. 

Announced by Neil Parikh, Chief Executive Officer, during the Moneycontrol Mutual Fund Summit held in Bangalore on October 27, the initiative aims to help Indian investors diversify portfolios globally while ensuring greater tax efficiency. 

This comes as PPFAS, known for its Parag Parikh Flexi Cap Fund and Parag Parikh ELSS Tax Saver Fund, expands its focus beyond domestic equities.

Diversification Strategy and Market Approach

PPFAS will roll out 2 passive funds and one active fund under the new global FoF lineup. The passive funds will mirror leading international indices such as the S&P 500 and NASDAQ Composite, while the active fund will adopt a flexi-cap, go-anywhere strategy, investing across developed markets in quality businesses with strong governance. 

Parikh emphasised that the focus will remain on countries with robust rule of law and transparent governance systems. 

Global Access and Investor Focus

The upcoming feeder funds will allow Indian investors to participate in global equity markets without facing the regulatory and taxation complexities of direct overseas investment. 

By combining passive exposure to global benchmarks with an active flexi-cap mandate, PPFAS aims to create a balance between diversification, performance, and efficiency. 

The firm’s measured approach mirrors its long-standing investment philosophy, disciplined, transparent, and globally aware.
