How Net Asset Value (NAV) of a scheme is calculated?
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. The NAV per unit is the market value of securities of a scheme divided by the total number of units of the scheme on any particular date. NAV is required to be disclosed by the mutual funds on a regular basis - daily or weekly - depending on the type of scheme.
