4) Parag Parikh Flexi Cap Fund

Parag Parikh Flexi Cap Fund is a value-oriented flexi cap fund that invests across market caps but with a large cap bias, along with some exposure to overseas equities.

The fund invested 11.8% of its assets in US tech giants such as Alphabet Inc A, Amazon.com, Facebook, and Microsoft Corp.

Until a few years ago the fund used to invest around 25-35% of its assets in overseas equities but this has reduced to around 11-12% at present.

This is primarily due to the RBI and SEBI's cap on overseas investment limits for mutual funds. The fund also received massive inflows in recent years which it invested in domestic equities, thereby diluting overseas allocation over time.
