What is NAV (Net asset value)?
Also called: Net asset value
Hinglish mein padhein: NAV kya hota hai?
NAV is the per-unit value of a mutual fund: total assets minus liabilities, divided by units outstanding. It is calculated once each business day.
A low NAV doesn't make a fund cheap — what matters is how the underlying investments perform.
Purchase requests received before the cut-off time get that day's NAV.
