Published: Monday, August 16, 2021, 11:17 [IST]

Excessive gains in mutual fund schemes are uncommon; such profits are usually connected with direct equities investing. The stock market had a fantastic year last year. During the same time span, large-cap indices earned returns of more than 50%. Nonetheless, the main action was in the broader market and in a few industries, where funds more than doubled in a year.

The NAV, or Net Asset Value, of a mutual fund, is the price per unit. The NAV of a mutual fund fluctuates on a daily basis. The market value of a fund's shares is represented by its net asset value (NAV). The total worth of all cash and securities in a fund's portfolio, minus any liabilities, is divided by the number of outstanding shares to arrive at the NAV. The NAV computation is significant because it determines the value of a single fund share.
