NAV-
➢ The market value of one unit of a mutual fund scheme on a given date
➢ Declared by fund houses on every business day on AMC website.
➢ It has to be published on 2 national newspapers
➢ NAV= net asset of the scheme / no. of outstanding units
➢ Net assets = market value of investment + receivables + other accrued income + other income –
accrued expenses – other payables – other liability
• Practical question

➢ Mutual fund provides the following information.


a) Size of the scheme = 2000cr.
b) Face value of the units = Rs 10.
c) No. of units = 200cr.
d) M.V. of fund portfolio = 4200cr.
e) Receivable = 100cr.
f) Accrued income = 100cr.
g) Liability = 150cr.
h) Accrued expenses = 275cr.
Calculate NAV of the scheme.
Calculate rate of return if until holders purchase units at the NAV of Rs 15& received a dividend
of Rs 2 unit during the period.
ANS-1. Net asset value is the value of the units at a given date.
2.NAV is declared by asset management company daily on the website of AMC & mutual fund.
3.NAV is also published into national news paper.
4.NAV = market value of investment + receivable + other outstanding income + other asset – . ..
(payable + outstanding expenses + other liability)
NO. of units.
Hence,
4200cr+100cr+100cr-(150+275cr)
200cr
NAV = 19.875

➢ Rate of return = income + end value of the units(RV)- original value of the units X 100.
Original value.
=2+19.875-15 X100 = ROR= 45.83%
