Parag Parikh Launches Large Cap Fund

Parag Parikh Mutual Fund is launching a new large-cap fund in January 2026.

This fund will invest in the top 100 companies in India, offering a stable and diversified option for investors.

Unlike their Flexi Cap fund, which makes active, high-conviction calls, this new fund will be more straightforward and less dependent on individual stock or sector bets.

The Chief Investment Officer, Rajeev Thakkar, describes it as a 'dal-chawal' for your portfolio—simple, stable, and essential.

The fund aims to address the current undervaluation of large caps, which have been overlooked in favor of small and mid-cap investments.

Thakkar also criticizes index funds for their structural flaws during rebalancing, highlighting the advantages of an actively managed large-cap strategy.
