Real gains to investors from reduction in expense ratio
The launch of this low-cost index fund comes at a time when many AMCs are rapidly increasing their expense ratios. According to Saurabh Jain, MD & CEO, Navi AMC Ltd. With an index fund, investors do not need to pay much to gain expertise in selecting stocks. Real gains to investors can be made by reducing the expense ratio while providing them with the same quality professional portfolio management services through index funds. According to Jain, Navi has reduced the cost under the direct plan proposal to 0.06 per cent, which is currently the lowest in the category of index schemes.
What is NFO
Whenever an Asset Management Company (AMC) launches a new fund, it is open only for a few days. Its purpose is to buy shares for the fund portfolio and hence to raise money through it. In a way, money is raised to start a new fund. This whole process is called New Fund Offer. In many ways it looks like an IPO but it is not like that. According to the current rules, the period of NFO in India ranges from 3 to 15 days.
