A nfo means a new fund from a mutual fund
house which was not available earlier.
With growing acceptance of mutual funds as
a form of investment, mutual fund houses periodically introduce new fund offers
so as to complete their basket of investments available for investors.
A NFO is usually what results in the
beginning of a mutual fund scheme.
Other reasons being merger of schemes
within the same fund house or merger or acquisition of two or more fund houses,
these are rare instances though.
NFO meaning
A nfo or a new fund offer is a method by
which a mutual fund scheme raises the initial investment into the fund.
The new fund offer is available for
purchase for a limited number of days only.
After which it becomes unavailable for
fresh purchase or redemption for a couple of days.
Once this time duration is complete, the
nfo no more remains a nfo and is treated like any other open ended mutual fund
scheme.
In which you can invest and redeem as and
when you please, considering it is an open ended fund and you comply with the
necessary exit load calculations.
