New Fund Offer (NFO)

Every NFO comes with a specific theme or investment objective, like value investing or capital protection. Check out the following list of NFOs, which offer you a multitude of themes and investment objectives that suit your financial goals and risk appetite.

An NFO is similar to an Initial Public Offering (IPO). While an IPO is the first shares of stock for public sale by a company, an NFO is the first subscription offering for any new mutual fund offered by an investment company. Both attempt to raise capital for further operations. Mainly, there are two types of NFOs:

Closed Ended

These NFOs stay open for few days and can be invested in during the NFO period only. Once the NFO period is over, one cannot invest in that scheme. Also, these NFOs have a predefined maturity date on which the scheme gets closed and the investors get their money along with the returns earned during that period.

Open Ended

These NFOs are available for purchase at their face value during the NFO period. Later on, it reopens and becomes a normal scheme, which allows investors to buy and sell units on a continuous basis. The units are bought and sold at the Net Asset Value (NAV) after the NFO period gets over.
