While most mutual fund schemes in the balanced advantage or dynamic asset allocation categories are equity-oriented, this scheme will maintain the equity allocation between 35% and 65% to make it eligible for the indexation benefits announced by the government in the Union budget for 2023-24.
Budget 2023 made the new income tax regime the default regime. Since this regime doesn’t give Section 80C benefits, ELSS, or tax-saving mutual funds, have lost their tax-benefit edge. Aside from taxpayers who would still opt for the old tax regime, it remains to be seen if ELSS funds can sell themselves purely on performance.
Parag Parikh Dynamic Asset Allocation Fund (DAAF) is the sixth scheme by PPFAS Mutual Fund. The new fund offer (NFO) will be available for subscription from February 20, 2024, to February 22, 2024.
Neil Parag Parikh, Chairman & CEO of PPFAS MF, advises investors to temper their expectations due to the unpredictable nature of equity markets. He highlights the popularity of SIPs among Indian investors and downplays the impact of elections on investment decisions. Parikh also discusses the attractiveness of overseas investments and warns of froth in the small and midcap space.
