PPFAS Mutual Fund recently released a notice cum addendum wherein Parag Parikh Flexi Cap Fund would temporarily be suspending the acceptance of fresh transactions. Read on to find out more.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has advised mutual funds investing in overseas securities to stop any further investments in foreign stocks to avoid infringement of industry-wide overseas limit. As per the SEBI’s circular dated June 3, 2021, mutual funds can make overseas investments up to one billion US dollars per mutual fund. However, the overall industry capping has been set to seven billion US dollars. This is the maximum limit allowed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) as well.

On this front, PPFAS Asset Management Private Limited has decided to temporarily suspend the transactions with effect from February 02, 2022, in Parag Parikh Flexi Cap Fund. Therefore, any transactions in this fund received post the cut-off timing of February 1, 2022, will not be accepted and processed. As of December 2021, Parag Parikh Flexi Cap Fund has almost 29% of its portfolio invested in foreign securities.
