The class of Fairness MFs with the best inflows within the final one yr is NOT Small Cap Funds.

The cash flown into Sectoral/Thematic funds (INR 70,072 crores) topped the charts and is even greater than particular person classes of enormous, mid & small cap put collectively!

New Fund Choices (NFOs) have contributed considerably to this development. A development by the best way which poses dangers to the buyers they don’t seem to be even absolutely conscious of.

We not too long ago met a potential consumer who fortunately confirmed us how he purchased a number of well-liked NFOs at an NAV of ‘simply’ Rs 10! Is a smaller NAV equal to a less expensive NAV? Definitely not. The relative development within the NAV (e.g. 10% or 20%) henceforth is what actually issues.

The opposite concern with NFOs is the entry timing is popularized with the sectors and themes in vogue. After the preliminary euphoria, buyers ponder in regards to the exit technique and search real recommendation.

The opposite extraordinarily frequent notion is inserting NFOs at par with IPOs given the excitement created across the potential fancy returns throughout the launch time. An excellent false impression once more. A minimum of we all know the underlying safety within the IPO which isn’t the case with NFOs. Solely broad mandate is understood and the precise portfolio constituents are chosen and included in a while.

With added components like lack of observe file and better prices on account of greater expense ratios, it may be seen that new scheme choices are marred with challenges. It’s extra prudent to attend and observe the brand new fund’s efficiency. Nonetheless, if an NFO is trying actually attention-grabbing, spend enough time researching all points quite than including on an ad-hoc foundation.
