36. Net Annual Value[NAV]What is NAV?NAV is the net amount of assets of a scheme of a MF that remain invested in market.NAV is actually the value of an unit. NAV=Net assets of a schemeNumbers of outstanding unitsNet assets = market value of investment + receivables +other accrued income + other assets – payables – outstanding liabilities .open ended fund issues 1000 units @ 10 each, NAV will be Rs 10. [1000* 10/1000]Now if market value of investment becomes Rs. 6000, previously it was Rs. 2ooo.So net increase in assets is [6000-2000]= Rs 4000. now the net assets will be Rs 14000. & NAV will be Rs. 14000/1000=Rs 14 per unit. Rs 4000 {14000-10000} is unrealized capital gain.INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR LEARNING IN MANAGEMENT
