Parag Parikh Long Term Equity Fund has now become Parag Parikh Flexi Cap Fund, in order to fall in line with the SEBI Multicap MF Rule issued in Sep 2020 forcing multi caps to invest in 25% in midcap and 25% in smallcap stocks and taking advantage of the new scheme category introduced in Nov 2020: Flexi-cap mutual funds. PPFAS Mutual Funds has issued a “change in the fundamental attribute” circular to this effect. Here is what it means.
Parag Parikh Long Term Equity Fund will now be called Parag Parikh Flexi Cap Fund, an open-ended dynamic equity scheme that can invest across large caps, mid caps and small caps.
There is no other change in scheme properties. A change in a fundamental attribute is a mandatory requirement and if mutual funds make any change that is significantly different from what was present earlier (in this case name and change in multicap definition by SEBI), then AMCs will have to inform investors and offer them a 30-day window to leave the fund free of exit load. In this case, it is merely a formality and investors need not do anything on account of this circular.
In order to comply with another SEBI circular, the fund will now have the possibility of segregating illiquid bonds or money market securities. For example, if the credit rating of a bond falls below investment grade (BBB or lower), then that portion of the funds in the portfolio would be side-pocketed or segregated to protect investors. No transactions are possible in this separated segment – purchases or redemptions – until resolution of the bond crisis (either repayment or default).

Both the boy and girl versions of "Chinchu Gets a Superpower".
Most investor problems stem from a lack of poor decision-making. We made bad decisions and money mistakes when we started earning, and we spent years undoing them. Why should our children go through the same pain? What is this book about? As parents, what if we had to groom one ability in our children that matters not only for money management and investing but for every aspect of life? My answer: Sound decision-making. So, in this book, we meet Chinchu, who is about to turn 10. The story follows what he wants for his birthday and how his parents plan it, while also teaching him key ideas about decision-making and money management. What readers say! 
Feedback from a young reader after reading Chinchu Gets a Superpower!
Must-read book even for adults! This is something that every parent should teach their kids right from a young age. The importance of money management and decision-making based on their wants and needs. Very nicely written in simple terms. - Arun.
