What is New Fund Offer?
NFO or New Fund Offer is the launch of a new mutual fund by an asset management company or fund house. When an NFO is launched, investors can invest in the new scheme by subscribing to its units. This helps in raising funds and funds from the market to invest in shares, bonds and other securities. NFOs have a fixed time period within which investors can invest their money. After the NFO period ends, regular trading resumes.
According to the current rules, the duration of NFO in India is from 3 to 15 days. If the fund is open-ended, then investment starts in it a few days after that. If it is close-ended, then the investor can subscribe to it during the NFO period, but he has to keep it on hold during this period. However, it is worth noting that this fund is new, so it does not have any track record. The returns can be estimated only by looking at its benchmark.
