When an asset management company (AMC) house launches a new mutual fund scheme, it invites
subscriptions from the public in the New Fund Offer (NFO). In the NFO period, investors
are allotted units at par value (usually Rs 10). If you invested Rs 10,000 in a mutual fund scheme
during the NFO period, you would be allotted 1,000 units.
You need to be KYC compliant to invest in mutual funds. Your financial advisor can
help you fulfil KYC requirements. Along with KYC documents, you need to provide bank details to invest
in mutual funds. Investors can invest in mutual funds only from their own bank accounts.
At the end of the NFO period, the money pooled from all the investors are invested in a diversified
portfolio of securities according to the scheme's mandate. After the NFO, investors can buy units of
open ended schemes from the AMC at prevailing Net Asset Values (NAV). You can also
redeem open ended mutual fund schemes at any time at prevailing NAVs. The redemption proceeds will be
credited to your bank account on T+3 for equity funds.
