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.
