SEBI Changes NAV Applicability Rules

Securities and Exchanges Board of India has brought in new rules for NAV (net asset value) applicability for mutual fund schemes below Rs. 2 lakh.

From January 1, 2021, purchase of units in a mutual fund scheme will get the NAV of the day on which money reaches the fund house, not of the day investors place the order, SEBI said in its recent circular. Please view the circular details here.

However, the regulation will not be applicable to liquid and overnight funds as for schemes above Rs. 2 lakh and liquid and overnight funds already had this norm in place.

"It has been decided that in respect of purchase of units of mutual fund schemes (except liquid and overnight schemes), closing NAV of the day shall be applicable on which the funds are available for utilization irrespective of the size and time of receipt of such application. The existing provision on NAV applicability for liquid and overnight funds and cut-off timings for all schemes shall remain unchanged," SEBI said in a circular.

In case of NFO subscriptions, allotment date will be considered, irrespective of credit date & application submission date.

When an investor wishes to switch into NFO from an existing scheme, the switch-out will be processed on existing schemes. Switch in will be allotted on the day NFO subscriptions are allotted.

For online transactions, there may be a time lag in transfer of funds from investors’ account to the AMC account and hence may differ from case to case basis.

These days, you’re constantly bombarded with messages every day asking you to invest your money.

Imagine you have a time machine and use it to go back in time to 2007. Your plan is to invest some money then, so you get richer in the present day. So, you invest Rs. 1 lakh each in a fixed deposit (FD), in gold and in equity mutual funds. 10 years later, you decide to withdraw that money. You’ll get Rs. 1.92 lakh from your FD, Rs. 2.85 lakh from gold, and Rs. 3.85 lakh from your mutual fund investments, after taxes*. Now ask yourself this: if you were to invest today, which option would you prefer: FDs and gold with lower returns and taxation...

How do I choose a Mutual Fund scheme?

Imagine asking a travel agent, “How should I choose my mode of transport?” The first thing he/she will say is, “Depends on where you want to go.” If I were to travel to a distance of 5 kms, an auto rickshaw might be the best option, while for a journey from New Delhi to Kochi, a flight might be the best. A flight would not be available for a short distance and an auto rickshaw would be highly uncomfortable and slow for a long-distance journey. In Mutual Funds too, the starting point must be- What are your requirements? It begins with your financial goals and risk appetite. You’ve got to identify your financial goals, first. Some Mutual Fund schemes are suitable for short term requirements or goals, whereas some might be better for long term goals. Next comes your risk appetite. Different people would have different risk appetite. Even husband and wife may have joint finances but different risk profiles. Some are comfortable with high risk products, ...
