How to read a PPFAS monthly factsheet

Sun, 17 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Most Indian AMC factsheets are dry compliance documents: portfolio composition tables, sector pies, the SEBI Riskometer, a paragraph of generic commentary. PPFAS’s factsheet is different. The first two-to-four pages every month are an essay by Rajeev Thakkar (the CIO), often co-authored with Raunak Onkar, on whatever portfolio decisions or philosophical themes the month called for. Long enough to be a serious read (1,500 to 3,000 words), conversational rather than corporate, and dense with references to Buffett, Munger, Klarman, behavioural-finance literature, and the team’s own evolving thinking. This is the document personal-finance creators quote when they want to explain what PPFAS thinks.

Annual report of an Indian mutual fund scheme

Sat, 16 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The annual report of a mutual fund scheme in India is the comprehensive audited financial and regulatory disclosure document that each mutual fund AMC must prepare and publish for every scheme it operates, covering the full financial year (1 April to 31 March). The annual report is the most detailed and authoritative periodic document available to investors about a scheme’s financial position, investment activity, governance compliance, and operational performance. It contains the scheme’s audited financial statements, year-end portfolio, trustee report, fund manager commentary, performance attribution, related-party transactions disclosure, and investor-complaints summary. The annual report is mandated by Regulations 56 and 57 of the SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996 and must be published within four months of the financial year end (i.e., by 31 July each year), with dispatch to all unit-holders.
