Mutual Funds | Net Asset Value (NAV's) - Explained

Share |

Now that you have gone through my previous post explaining Mutual Funds basics and working, if not read it beforecontinuing with this post any further Mutual Funds Investing - Basics | Working | Benefits

Net Asset value of Mutual funds or NAV's (as we popurarly call them) is similar to stock price as both represent price of one share of an investment. eg when a person invests INR 2000 in a Mutual fund with NAV value of INR 20 then he purchases 2000/20 = 100 shares of Mutual fund. There is no other similarity between NAV and stock price then this one.

NAV - CALCULATION
Calculating the NAV for a mutual fund is not that complex as people might think. Simply add up the current value of all the stocks, bonds, and other securities in Mutual Funds company's portfolio, subtract the manager's salary and other operating expenses, and then divide this amount by the fund's total number of shares. The resulted amount would be value of NAV of this company.

Difference between stock price and NAV
Still there are many differences between Net Asset Value(NAV) and Stock price, which I would try to explain in following points:
1. Stock prices keep on changing entire trading sessions, whereas NAV's are calculated once in a day at closing of the market. If you purchase in early trading sessions then you would get NAV value on closing of that particular day.
2. Stock investors usually invest in share in manner like "purchasing 50 shares of RIL" or "100 shares of TCS" where as while investing in Mutual Funds you get units of NAV's eg if you invest INR 1000 into a fund with NAV of INR50 then you get 20 shares
3. Stocks have a fixed number of shares available. To change its number of shares, a company can either issue new shares or buy back its own shares in the market. By contrast, mutual funds generally have an unlimited number of shares, and the number changes on a daily basis, depending on how many shares investors buy and sell that day
4. Calculating fair price for a stock is much easier when you purchase stocks, while it is much difficult while finding a fair prices in case of mutual funds is very cumbersome process.

Mutual Funds basics:
Mutual funds is a way of investing in stock markets when group of like minded small investors club their money together and then hire a manager for the money to invest into stock market, All the analysis activities in choosing the stock is put on this manager. Advantage of Mutual Fund investing is that by pooling the money together, investors can target broad range of stocks which was not possible if they wnet alone for investing in stock market. These group of investors would not meet each other ever though.

How Mutual funds work
There are numerous Mutual Funds companies(MFC henceforth) in India. When a person invest in a MFC it buys an ownership stake in the company(kind of share holding but here it is called NAV or net asset value). Price of single ownership unit in a Mutual Funds company is called Net Asset Value or NAV. for eg if you invest INR 10000 in MFC with NAV or INR 100, then you have 100 shares of this Mutual Funds Investing company. These MFC's hire fund managers for analysis and investment of the collected money into stocks, they keep certain fees though. There are numerous MFC's which specializes in stock investment in a particular sector stocks like 'Oil and Gas' , ' Infrastructure' or 'Information technology' etc. If a MF's has portfolio of 500 stocks then MF investors becomes miniature owner of that stock.

Benifits of Mutual Funds Investing
Less capital required - You can invest in mutual funds with a very less amount and still own large portfolio which might not be possible if you invest individually, because in individual investment it is likely that you would run out of money befor purchasing nth stock.
Ease of buyinh/selling: Mutual fund company will give you cash whenever you're ready to sell the stock. Investors who own closed funds can also sell at any time.
MFC are highly regulated: A group has to satisfy lot of regulators requirements before starting a Mutual Fund company, hence there are very less chances of fraud, you will not hear that fund manager took the money and dissapeared (loss is another thing).
Investments are Professionally managed: Mutual Funds companies higher professionals for managing money and doing market analysis before investing money in best stock option available, Individual investor might not have time for doing self analysis before stock purchase.

So we can conclude Investing in Mutual Funds is a good way for investing in stock markets, but as we all hear now and then "Mutual Funds investments are subject to market risks, please read the offer document carefully before investing"
