 has concentrated the overseas equity allocation of the &lt;a href="https://v2.webnotes.in/parag-parikh-flexi-cap-fund/"&gt;Parag Parikh Flexi Cap Fund&lt;/a&gt;
 in a tightly limited core of &lt;strong&gt;US-listed mega-cap technology and consumer-digital franchises&lt;/strong&gt;, principally &lt;a href="https://v2.webnotes.in/alphabet-at-ppfcf/"&gt;Alphabet Inc.&lt;/a&gt;

, with &lt;a href="https://v2.webnotes.in/berkshire-hathaway-at-ppfcf/"&gt;Berkshire Hathaway Class B&lt;/a&gt;
 appearing as an additional core holding through earlier periods. The foreign core rationale is structurally consistent with the broader &lt;a href="https://v2.webnotes.in/ppfas-investment-philosophy/"&gt;PPFAS investment philosophy&lt;/a&gt;
 of &lt;a href="https://v2.webnotes.in/ppfas-value-investing/"&gt;value investing&lt;/a&gt;

 construction and the &lt;a href="https://v2.webnotes.in/ppfas-owner-mindset/"&gt;owner mindset&lt;/a&gt;
 framework, and it has been continuously articulated by Chief Investment Officer &lt;a href="https://v2.webnotes.in/rajeev-thakkar-ppfas/"&gt;Rajeev Thakkar&lt;/a&gt;
, Head of Research &lt;a href="https://v2.webnotes.in/raunak-onkar/"&gt;Raunak Onkar&lt;/a&gt;
