NAV (Net Asset Value)
💡 In plain English: The price per unit of a mutual fund — calculated daily after market close.
Definition
The per-unit value of a mutual fund, calculated by dividing total fund assets minus liabilities by the total number of units outstanding.
📌 Real-World Example
Fund has assets of ₹1,000Cr and 10Cr units outstanding. NAV = ₹100. You invest ₹10,000 → you get 100 units. If NAV rises to ₹120, your investment is worth ₹12,000.
🔢 Formula
NAV = (Total Assets − Liabilities) / Total Units
