| What is NAV (Net Asset Value) ? | ||||
| A lot of us come across the term called NAV in newspapers, magazines and TV. We see different funds having different NAVs but importantly and perhaps confusingly, they are going up and down all the time. To begin with NAV denotes the performance of a particular Mutual Fund Scheme. Mutual Funds invest the money collected from the investors in securities markets. In simple words, Net Asset Value is the market value of the securities held by the scheme. Since market value of securities changes every day, NAV of a scheme also varies on day-to-day basis. Mutual Funds are required to disclose NAV on a regular basis - daily or weekly - depending on the type of scheme. The NAV appreciates when the market value of the securities held by it go up. This indicates that the fund is performing well. Keep in mind that the attractiveness of the scheme is not necessarily determined by how close the Current NAV is to the Face Value at the time of Issue. |
