PPFAS Direct vs Regular Plan

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

The PPFAS Direct Plan and Regular Plan are the two parallel plan variants offered by PPFAS Mutual Fund for each of its seven open-ended schemes under the SEBI Mutual Funds Regulations, 1996 framework introduced industry-wide on 1 January 2013. The two plans are economically identical at the unit-holder level on every dimension except the total expense ratio (TER), which is materially lower in the Direct Plan because the Direct Plan does not pay a trail commission to any AMFI ARN distributor. The TER differential between the two plans of Parag Parikh Flexi Cap Fund (PPFCF) , the flagship equity scheme, is approximately 69 basis points as of the latest factsheet, with the Direct Plan TER at around 0.63 per cent and the Regular Plan TER at around 1.32 per cent per annum.

PPFAS Distributor Channel History

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

The PPFAS distributor channel history denotes the chronological evolution of the routes through which units of the schemes managed by PPFAS Mutual Fund have been sold to investors in India from the launch of the first scheme in May 2013 through to May 2026. The history is shaped by three structural features specific to the AMC: a deliberate direct-plan-first ethos articulated since launch by founder Parag Parikh and continued by Chairman and CEO Neil Parag Parikh ; a small but durable AMFI-ARN distributor base servicing the regular plan; and a third-party aggregator and discount-broker distribution channel that has grown rapidly since 2016 in line with the broader direct plan adoption in India .
