Understanding Key Mutual Fund Metrics
- Net Asset Value (NAV): This is the price per unit of a mutual fund, essentially its market value. It's calculated by dividing the total value of all assets in the fund's portfolio (minus liabilities) by the number of units. You buy and sell units at this price.
- Historical Returns: This shows the fund's past performance (e.g., over 1, 3, or 5 years). While past performance never guarantees future results, it helps assess the fund manager's effectiveness and the fund's growth potential.
- Fund Manager: The Asset Management Company (AMC), such as IDLC Asset Management or Shanta Asset Management, that handles the fund's investments. A manager's reputation and long-term track record are vital factors.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the difference between an open-end and a closed-end mutual fund?
Open-end funds can be bought and sold at any time directly from the AMC at the current NAV. Closed-end funds have a fixed number of units and are traded on the stock exchange like regular shares, so their price can be different from their NAV.
2. How do I start investing in mutual funds in Bangladesh?
To invest, you typically need a BO (Beneficiary Owner's) account. You can then contact the Asset Management Company (AMC) directly or go through a stockbroker to purchase units of their open-end funds.
3. Are returns from mutual funds guaranteed?
No. Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks. The value of your investment (NAV) can go up or down depending on the performance of the underlying stocks and bonds in the fund's portfolio. There is no guaranteed return.
