What is NFO (New Fund Offer)? — Meaning, Definition & Example

Definition

NFO is the initial subscription offering for a new mutual fund scheme. During NFO period (typically 15-30 days), units are available at face value (usually ₹10). After NFO closes, the fund opens for regular subscription at NAV. Not all NFOs are worth investing.

💡 Real Example

A Nifty Next 50 Index Fund NFO at ₹10/unit — but there's no advantage vs buying an existing similar fund at ₹150 NAV, as both give same returns.
