Frequently Asked Questions
What is a New Fund Offer (NFO)?
An NFO is the first subscription period for a newly launched mutual fund scheme. During this window, investors can buy units at the initial offer price, typically Rs 10 per unit. After the NFO period closes, the fund begins investing as per its mandate, and units can be bought and sold at the prevailing NAV. NFOs allow fund houses to raise capital for new investment strategies or themes that may not be covered by their existing schemes.
Should I invest in NFOs or existing funds?
In most cases, existing funds with a proven track record are a better choice because you can evaluate their actual performance. NFOs lack a performance history, so you are relying entirely on the fund house's reputation and the fund manager's past experience. However, NFOs can be worth considering when they offer a genuinely unique strategy or access to a new market segment not available through existing funds.
Is the Rs 10 NFO price an advantage?
No, the Rs 10 unit price of an NFO is not inherently cheaper or an advantage. Mutual fund returns depend on the percentage change in NAV, not the absolute unit price. A fund with NAV of Rs 500 growing 10% gives the same return as a Rs 10 fund growing 10%. The low price is simply the starting point for a new scheme and should never be the reason for investing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is NAV in a mutual fund?
NAV, or Net Asset Value, is the per-unit price of a mutual fund scheme. It is calculated as the total value of the fund's assets minus its liabilities, divided by the number of outstanding units. Fund houses declare NAV at the end of each business day based on closing prices, and AMFI publishes it. When you invest, you are allotted units at the applicable NAV.
How do I start a SIP in mutual funds in India?
To start a SIP you first complete your KYC, which is mandatory under SEBI rules. You then choose a scheme, decide a monthly amount — often as low as Rs 500 — and set an auto-debit mandate from your bank. On your chosen date each month, units are bought at the prevailing NAV. You can invest directly through an AMC or via a distributor platform.
What is the expense ratio and why does it matter?
The expense ratio is the annual fee a fund charges to manage your money, expressed as a percentage of assets. It covers fund management, administration and distribution costs, and is deducted from the NAV. SEBI caps expense ratios by fund size and type. A lower ratio means more of the return stays with you, which is why direct plans, with no distributor commission, cost less than regular plans.
Are ELSS mutual funds good for tax saving?
ELSS (Equity Linked Savings Scheme) funds qualify for deduction under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, up to Rs 1.5 lakh a year in the old tax regime. They carry the shortest lock-in among 80C options at just three years and invest mainly in equities, offering growth potential. Returns are market-linked, and gains above Rs 1.25 lakh a year are taxed as long-term capital gains.
