Understanding Why Mutual Fund NAV Does Not Reflect Investment Value
Both articles explain that a mutual fund's Net Asset Value (NAV) does not indicate its investment quality or future returns. NAV represents the per-unit value of a fund's assets, not its price or growth potential. New funds often start with a NAV of 10, which can mislead investors into thinking they are cheaper or have more room to grow. Instead, investors should focus on the fund's portfolio, performance, and other factors rather than NAV alone.
