MF NAV



Learn how net asset value (NAV) works and find out whether a low NAV is a good thing or not

Mutual fund investors inevitably come across the term 'NAV'. No matter how hard they try to stay away from investment jargon, this one term refuses to leave them. Every time they buy or sell mutual fund units, they come across this beast called NAV. Little wonder, there are many misconceptions regarding this term. Here we tell you all you need to know about NAV as a mutual fund investor.


The NAV formula
NAV, or net asset value, is the sum total of the market value of all the shares held in a portfolio, including cash, less liabilities, divided by the total number of units outstanding. Thus, the NAV of a mutual fund unit is nothing but the 'book value' of a unit.


Is a low NAV good?
Many investors feel that a fund with a low NAV is 'cheaper' than the one with a higher NAV. At the time of a new fund offer, many distributors push the new fund by saying that its NAV is low, thus indicating that it's available at a bargain. The truth is that NAV itself is immaterial for an investor.


The idea that a low-NAV fund is cheaper stems from the fact that many investors compare NAV with the stock price. A low stock price (when seen in terms of valuation) means a stock available at a bargain. But this is not true for a fund's NAV. NAV doesn't tell you whether a fund is cheap or expensive. It just reflects the current value of one unit of the portfolio as it is.

An example
The following example will make it clear that returns are independent of NAV. Say, you have Rs 10,000 to invest. You have two options. You can invest in either of the two funds, Fund X and Fund Y, whose portfolios are the same but whose NAVs are different. Fund X has an NAV of Rs 10 and Fund Y has an NAV of Rs 50. You will get 1,000 units of Fund X or 200 units of Fund Y for Rs 10,000. After one year, both funds will have grown equally as their portfolios are the same.


Let's assume that the funds grew by 25 per cent. Then the NAVs after one year will be Rs 12.50 for Fund X and Rs 62.50 for Fund Y. The value of your investment will be 1,000*12.50 = Rs 12,500 for Fund X and 200*62.5 = Rs 12,500 for Fund Y. Thus, your returns will be the same, irrespective of the NAV.


When we buy a mutual fund at its NAV, we are buying it at its book value. And since we are buying it at its book value, we are paying the right price for its assets, whether it is Rs 10 or Rs 100. What you want to buy in a scheme is its performance, not its NAV. And the simplest way to do this is to compare returns over similar periods.

How Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) works?

    THE tax season is here. And if you are an employee you can't blame your employer for deducting large chunks of money from your salary towards tax deducted at source ( TDS ), which he is legally obliged to do. Your bank will also deduct some percentage from your FD interest of Rs 10,000 or more towards TDS! So what is this TDS all about? How is it computed? Are there any changes this year? Read on... What is TDS? TDS reduces your taxable income and could even provide tax relief! The TDS collections account for 40 percent of the total taxes collected in the country. As the name suggests TDS is the amount of tax that is deducted at source in certain types of income . The TDS thus collected is deposited in the Government treasury within a specified time. How is it computed? Some of the types of income where TDS is applicable include salary, interest, rental fee, interest on securities, insurance commission, dividends from shares and UTI/Mutual Funds, commission and brokerage

Modern day balanced mutual fund approach

Buy Gold Mutual Funds Invest Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Call 0 94 8300 8300 (India)   In reality, most balanced funds have a strong tilt towards equity instead of a mix of equity and debt THERE are various types of mutual funds available to investors with specific features. Often investors have a particular idea about a specific type of funds in terms of their features and risks, but that is not what is actually available. Therefore, it is necessary for an investor to understand the actual position before picking up a fund. This requires some work on the part of the investor. One example can be the situation with balanced funds. Name is not representative: One of the first things that an investor has to understand is that the name of the fund is often not representative of its investment pattern. The name often represents only the aim of the fund, and not what it actually is.
