• The fund house does not have a sales team.
• Educating the investors before they invest is the aim of the mutual fund company.
• It has only one equity scheme (Parag Parikh Long Term Equity Fund) and one liquid fund scheme (Parag Parikh Liquid Fund)
• PPFAS Mutual Fund does not accept money in case of exorbitant valuations.

Most of the Mutual Fund Houses offer a bouquet of mutual fund schemes in debt, hybrid, thematic, equity, or ELSS, so that customers can select an appropriate scheme as per their specific needs. This AMC prefers to keep just two funds in its fund management basket and divert their full attention to its management.
