Market Structure

What is NAV (Net Asset Value)?

NAV represents the per-unit value of a mutual fund — calculated by dividing the total value of all holdings minus liabilities by the number of units outstanding.

Formula

NAV = (Total Assets - Total Liabilities) ÷ Total Units Outstanding

How to Interpret

NAV is updated daily for mutual funds. A higher NAV doesn't mean a fund is expensive — it simply reflects past performance.

Typical Ranges

NAV level doesn't indicate value. Focus on NAV growth rate (returns) instead.
