FAQs
Mutual funds are priced as per the Net Asset Value (NAV). NAV, which represents the market value of the fund per unit, is used by investors while purchasing and selling units from as well as to a Mutual Fund Company. NAV can be calculated by using the formula mentioned below:
NAV = Total value of all cash and securities in a Mutual Fund’s portfolio (less any liabilities) ÷ Total number of units in the Mutual Fund.

Also known as debt funds or fixed-income funds, bond funds aim to generate fixed monthly income for investors by investing in government, municipal, corporate, and convertible bonds which are comparatively less risky and secured.
- Balanced Funds – This category of mutual funds is synonymously known as hybrid funds.
