PPFAS GIFT Lowers Minimum Investment in Two US Index Funds to $500
PPFAS GIFT has reduced the minimum investment for its two outbound passive funds—the Parag Parikh IFSC S&P 500 Fund of Fund and the Parag Parikh IFSC Nasdaq 100 Fund of Fund—from US$5,000 to US$500, effective August 25. This 90% reduction lowers the entry amount from about Rs 4.8 lakh to roughly Rs 48,000, making global equity exposure more accessible to Indian investors through GIFT City. Both funds provide passive, index-linked exposure to leading US companies, aiming to broaden portfolio diversification without requiring foreign brokerage accounts.
