7/ Parag Parikh Long Term Equity Fund ~ a darling fund for most of the retailers with mere 3,500 cr AMC

This multicap fund was launched in the year 2013 with a very interesting allocations:

8/ Their current allocations in these are:
Largecap: 38%
Midcap: 16%

10/ I found this interesting on their portal:"We Are Different"
$ We do not aim to please everyone
$ We do not have a 'Sales Team'
$ We see ourselves as asset managers not gatherers
$ We have a stake in our scheme's success
$ We will not accept money when valuations r exorbitant
