How-to How to PPFAS AUM archive YouTube historical recordings

How to access archived PPFAS Annual Unitholders' Meet recordings

From WebNotes, a public knowledge base. Last updated . Reading time ~5 min. Level: Beginner.

Twelve years of AUMs sit on PPFAS’s YouTube channel, from the first one in 2014 (the year after PPLTVF launched) to the 12th in November 2025. Each runs two to four hours. Watched in sequence, the archive is one of the longest continuous video records of any Indian AMC’s thinking over time: portfolio positions, philosophical clarifications, succession through the post-Parag-Parikh transition, SEBI regulatory shifts, the COVID drawdown, the overseas-cap pause, the move from PPLTVF to PPLTEF to PPFCF. As a research resource, this is dense.

The walk-through

1. Get to the channel and the AUM playlist

Open youtube.com/@PPFASMF in a browser or the YouTube app. Under Playlists, look for the AUM-dedicated one (variously titled Annual Unitholders’ Meet, AUM Recordings, or PPFAS Investor Meet across years). The full chronological list lives there, newest first.

2. Decide what to watch for

The archive serves different use cases. For onboarding to PPFAS as a new investor, start with the latest AUM and walk backward two or three years; the most recent positioning matters most. For tracing a specific theme, the 2022 AUM is where SEBI’s overseas-allocation cap pause is discussed at length, the 2021 AUM covers the PPLTEF-to-PPFCF rename and the Rs 10,000 crore milestone, the 2020 AUM was the COVID-drawdown response and the only fully-virtual edition. For founder-era context, the 2014 AUM is the first-ever and the 2015 AUM covers the succession after Parag Parikh’s death in May 2015. For the recent milestone, the 2025 AUM covers PPFCF crossing Rs 1 lakh crore in AUM.

The recommended order below at the bottom of this guide gives one path through.

3. Use chapter markers, or scrub

Recent AUMs include chapter markers in the description or pinned comment, with the standard split: Opening Remarks, CIO Presentation, Head of Research Presentation, Q&A, Closing. Click a chapter to jump straight to that segment. Older recordings (pre-2020) often lack chapters; you’ll scrub manually.

4. Search within the channel for a specific topic

YouTube auto-transcribes most uploads, and the channel’s search function matches against the transcription. Useful search terms: overseas allocation, behavioural finance, value investing, succession planning, scheme launch, DAAF, CashFlex. Results surface every video (AUMs and shorter clips alike) where the term appears.

5. Cross-reference with the year’s Annual Letter and factsheets

The AUM for a given financial year (held in November of that year) corresponds thematically to the Annual Letter for the same FY and the twelve monthly factsheets. The richest comprehension flow is: Annual Letter first (slow read), then AUM (Q&A and live commentary). The Annual Letter sets the framework; the AUM tests it against the year’s market reality.

6. Save or download for offline viewing

YouTube Premium supports offline downloads, useful for long flights or low-connectivity stretches. Without Premium, the Watch Later list and personal playlists still serve as bookmarks. Playback speed adjustment (1.25x or 1.5x) is widely used by viewers who watch multiple older AUMs in sequence.

For a new investor onboarding to PPFAS who wants to watch the AUM archive systematically:

  1. Latest AUM (most current portfolio, philosophy, AUM context).
  2. Prior year AUM (for one-year-ago comparison).
  3. 2022 AUM (SEBI overseas-cap discussion).
  4. 2021 AUM (PPLTEF to PPFCF rename and 10,000 crore AUM milestone).
  5. 2020 AUM (COVID drawdown response).
  6. 2018 AUM (PPLTVF to PPLTEF rename and scheme rationalisation).
  7. 2015 AUM (post-Parag-Parikh succession).
  8. 2014 AUM (first-ever AUM; founding philosophy statement).

This staged approach builds understanding from current context backward.
