This guide covers submitting questions for the Q&A session of the PPFAS Mutual Fund Annual Unitholders’ Meet (AUM). The Q&A is the most-engaging segment of the AUM, typically running 60 to 90 minutes within the 2-to-4-hour agenda. Questions are accepted from both in-person attendees and online live-stream viewers. Pre-event submission via the registration form or email increases the chance of curation into the live Q&A. Effective questions are specific, on-topic, and substantive.

Step-by-step procedure

Step 1: Identify the appropriate submission channel

Channels vary by timing:

Pre-event (weeks ahead):

Registration form: Some PPFAS registration forms include a field for pre-submitting a question. Use this if available.
PPFAS investor desk email: Send the question to the investor desk email address (visible on amc.ppfas.com).
@PPFAS on X: During the registration window, mention @PPFAS with a question. Use any hashtag PPFAS may publicise (e.g., #PPFASAUM2026).
LinkedIn message: PPFAS LinkedIn page may also accept questions.

Live (during the event):

YouTube live chat: Online viewers type questions in the YouTube live chat during the AUM stream. PPFAS moderators select questions for the live Q&A.
Venue microphone: In-person attendees raise hand or queue at the venue microphone during the Q&A session.

Step 2: Draft a clear, specific question

Effective questions for PPFAS AUMs:

Specific portfolio decisions: “Why did PPFCF reduce its position in Alphabet over the past two quarters?”
Philosophy clarifications: “How does PPFAS’s behavioural-finance framework apply to evaluating new IPOs?”
Macro views: “What is the team’s view on Indian equity-versus-overseas-equity allocation given current INR strength?”
Scheme-specific: “What are the operational considerations behind the Large Cap Fund launch in February 2026?”
Regulatory: “How does PPFAS plan to use any future restoration of the SEBI overseas allocation cap?”

Less effective questions:

Generic queries answerable from the factsheet (“What is PPFCF’s current NAV?”).
Personal investment advice (“Should I invest in PPFCF or DAAF?”).
Off-topic questions (general macro views unrelated to PPFAS).
Multiple unrelated questions bundled together (split into separate submissions).

Keep questions under 50 words for easier moderation.

Step 3: Submit pre-event if possible

Pre-event submission has advantages:

The team can prepare a thoughtful response.
The question is more likely to be curated into the live Q&A.
Complex or sensitive topics get nuanced treatment.

If submitting via email or the registration form, include the registration confirmation number and the folio number for context.

Step 4: Tune in live or attend in person

The AUM date and time were established at registration. Tune in via the PPFAS YouTube channel or attend in person.

Step 5: Type or speak the question during the live Q&A

If a question wasn’t submitted pre-event, use:

YouTube live chat (online): Type the question during the Q&A segment. Moderators select questions visible on the screen.
Venue microphone (in person): Raise hand or queue at the microphone. The moderator passes the microphone for questions.

Briefly identify yourself: name, city, and folio reference (folio number is not necessary to disclose publicly). Then state the question.

Step 6: Listen carefully to the response

Fund managers often address questions in batches:

A specific portfolio question may be answered with broader context (philosophy, sector view, macro framing).
The exact words “your question” may not be used; listen for thematic match.
If the question isn’t directly addressed, it may be a follow-up after the event.

Step 7: Follow up after the event if needed

For questions not addressed during the live Q&A:

Send a follow-up email to the PPFAS investor desk.
Reference the AUM Q&A submission and the original question.
Allow 1 to 2 weeks for a response, given post-event reconciliation.

The PPFAS team typically responds to substantive investor questions, even those not addressed during the live Q&A.

Step 8: Review the recording for the Q&A section

Post-event, the recording is uploaded to the PPFAS YouTube channel (see how to access archived PPFAS Annual Unitholders’ Meet recordings). Navigate to the Q&A section using timestamps:

The Q&A segment usually has timestamp markers in the video chapters or pinned comment.
Specific question responses can be found by scrubbing.
For re-watching specific responses, the recording allows replay and speed adjustment.

What can go wrong

Question not addressed during live Q&A: Time constraints mean not every question gets a live response. Submit a follow-up email post-event.
Live chat overload: YouTube live chat can move quickly; moderators may not see the question. Submit pre-event for higher visibility.
Generic-question filtering: Questions answerable from the factsheet may be filtered out. Aim for specific and substantive.
Personal investment advice questions: Will not be addressed during the AUM (regulatory restriction). Use the SelfInvest portal or investor desk.
Off-topic or speculative questions: May be filtered. Stay on-topic with PPFAS’s investment-management scope.
Multiple questions in one submission: May be partially addressed. Submit each question separately.
Translation challenges: Questions in regional languages or with heavy accents may be paraphrased. Submit in clear English where possible.
Anonymous submission: Some platforms allow anonymous submissions; if attribution matters, include name and city.
Live-stream technical issues during Q&A: Audio dropouts may affect question or response clarity. The recording is the fallback.
Question pre-empted by another: If a similar question has been asked, the team may aggregate or address jointly. The substance is what matters, not strict authorship.
Follow-up email loop: Multiple back-and-forth emails post-event may stretch over weeks. Plan accordingly.
