About PFPRX

Parnassus Mid Cap Growth Fund Institutional Shares is a mutual fund specializing in U.S. mid-cap growth equities. Its primary objective is to achieve capital appreciation by investing predominantly—at least 80% of its net assets—in mid-sized, fast-growing companies with robust balance sheets and strong growth prospects. The portfolio typically comprises 35 to 45 high-conviction holdings, emphasizing quality, financial health, and sustainable growth characteristics. The fund's strategy allows for flexibility, as it may retain positions even if their market capitalization shifts outside the traditional mid-cap range, and can allocate up to 20% of assets to both smaller- and larger-cap companies. This fund is noted for its focus on companies driving innovation and expansion within their sectors, making it a significant option for those seeking exposure to the dynamic mid-cap segment of the U.S. equity market. While growth remains the central theme, the fund is also scrutinized for its social and environmental considerations, reflecting an awareness of issues like fossil fuel exposure and other ESG factors.
