Unclaimed Mutual Fund Assets Rise 10% in FY26; PPFAS Fund Performance Viewed as Normal
Unclaimed mutual fund assets in India rose nearly 10% to Rs 3,811 crore in FY26, driven by higher unclaimed dividends despite a slight decline in unclaimed redemptions, according to Sebi. This increase is attributed to outdated investor contact details. Meanwhile, PPFAS Mutual Fund's CIO Rajeev Thakkar described the recent underperformance of the Parag Parikh Flexi Cap Fund as neither unusual nor significant, emphasizing its long-term strategy and stable outlook on private banks like HDFC Bank amid market volatility.
