This guide covers watching the live broadcast of the PPFAS Annual Unitholders’ Meet (AUM) on the PPFAS Mutual Fund YouTube channel. The AUM is the AMC’s flagship annual investor event, typically held in Mumbai with in-person attendance, and simultaneously live-streamed for remote viewers. The 12th AUM was held 22 November 2025 at Birla Matushree Sabhaghar, Mumbai. The event is widely viewed in real-time and remains the most-watched single content piece on the PPFAS YouTube channel each year.

Step-by-step procedure

Step 1: Watch for the PPFAS AUM date announcement

PPFAS announces the AUM date 4 to 6 weeks in advance through:

  • PPFAS monthly factsheet: Inserted notice in the August-October factsheets.
  • PPFAS social media: @PPFAS on X, LinkedIn company page.
  • PPFAS YouTube channel: Pre-event announcement video.
  • Email to registered investors: Via SelfInvest.
  • Industry press: Cafemutual, PrimeInvestor, financial publications.

The announcement typically includes the date, venue (for in-person attendance), and the YouTube live-stream URL.

Step 2: Mark the calendar

AUMs are typically held on Saturdays for higher attendance. The start time is usually mid-morning IST (10:00 AM to 11:00 AM), with the event running into the afternoon. For example, the 12th AUM (22 November 2025) ran from approximately 10:30 AM to 2:30 PM IST.

International viewers should account for time-zone differences:

  • 10:30 AM IST = midnight to early-morning US Pacific, late afternoon Europe, evening East Asia.

Step 3: Subscribe to the PPFAS YouTube channel and enable notifications

Visit youtube.com/@PPFASMF (see how to access the PPFAS YouTube channel for the channel access guide). Subscribe to the channel and tap the bell icon to enable notifications:

  • All notifications: Will alert on every channel upload, including the live-stream start.
  • Personalised notifications: YouTube algorithm decides; less reliable for time-sensitive events.

For the AUM, the All notification setting is recommended to ensure the live-stream alert reaches you.

Step 4: Join the live stream at the announced time

On the AUM date:

  • Open YouTube and navigate to the PPFAS channel.
  • The live-stream tile is prominently displayed when the event is live (typically marked with a LIVE indicator).
  • Tap to join. The stream loads in real time.

For best experience:

  • Use a quality internet connection (4 Mbps minimum for HD).
  • Use a larger screen (smart TV, laptop) for the multi-hour duration.
  • Have water and snacks ready; the event is long.

Step 5: Engage via live chat (optional)

YouTube’s live chat is typically enabled during the AUM. Real-time interaction:

  • Type questions, reactions, or comments.
  • Visible to other viewers and to the PPFAS team.
  • Used by some viewers to flag questions for the live Q&A.

Engage respectfully and on-topic. The live chat is moderated.

Step 6: Stay through the Q&A session

The typical AUM agenda:

  • Opening remarks by Neil Parikh (typically 15 to 30 minutes).
  • CIO presentation by Rajeev Thakkar on the year’s portfolio, market views, and strategic positioning (60 to 90 minutes).
  • Head of Research presentation by Raunak Onkar on sector views, portfolio thinking, behavioural-finance themes (30 to 60 minutes).
  • Live Q&A session with all fund managers, responding to in-person attendee questions and selected live-chat questions (60 to 90 minutes).
  • Closing remarks by Neil Parikh.

The Q&A session is the most engaging segment; many investors specifically stay for this. Questions cover portfolio decisions, macro views, philosophical clarifications, and operational queries.

Step 7: Use timestamps for navigation

During and after the stream:

  • YouTube provides timestamps for navigation.
  • Some sections are flagged with chapter markers (in the video description or pinned comment).
  • Use timestamps to revisit specific segments (e.g., the overseas-allocation discussion, the year-end portfolio summary).

Step 8: Watch the archived recording later if needed

If the live event is missed, the full recording is typically uploaded to the PPFAS YouTube channel within a few days. The recording is searchable, indexed, and allows replay at flexible speeds. See how to access archived PPFAS Annual Unitholders’ Meet recordings for the archive workflow.
