PPFAS Asset Management Private Ltd. is the asset manager of PPFAS Mutual Fund, established back in 2012. The AMC is registered as a trust under the Indian Trust Act, 1882. It is registered with SEBI vide registration code MF/069/12.
As of March 2024, the AMC offers more than six schemes and has an asset under management of Rs. 64295.79 Crore.
PPFAS AMC abides by the “Law of the Farm”. The law relates to farming, where a farmer can only reap fruitful produce slowly and steadily while practising with effort and discipline. The company has relatively prolonged holding periods, a reflection of this law.
The AMC prides itself of having a different and unique approach to asset management than other companies.
For instance, the company only offers 1 equity scheme. It believes that they can invest in a plethora of areas through this single product. They refrain from launching more schemes as it might create confusion among clients and become perplexing when choosing a fund to invest in.
Secondly, it does not have a sales team. The company does not subscribe to attracting investors by heavily promoting its products. It has a small team of Relationship Managers who seek to establish a robust and long-term relation with the clients. They do not conclude their services once an investor completes the purchase. The official will clear any queries and doubts that their clients have, anytime.
The company boasts of its investment management team and maintains that their approach to performance and asset management is the ideal way to market and sell their products.
Thirdly, it does not utilise the modern factors like algorithms, technical analysis, and momentum to curate a portfolio. Instead, the company uses age-old factors like low debt, cash flow, etc. PPFAS does not seek to attract investors that look for fund managers who have an aggressive approach to the market.
Fourthly, the mutual fund does not accept one-time investments during bullish times. It says that investing during such time may return high profits but it can also backfire.
Fifthly, PPFAS AMC believes that the interest of clients should be similar to those of their employees and management. Hence, their workforce also invests a considerable amount of their investable surplus in the company’s equity fund.
