NAV (Net Asset Value)

The per-unit price of a mutual fund, set once at the end of each day.

A fund holds many shares. Divide the total value of those holdings by the number of units outstanding and you get the NAV — the price of one unit.

Unlike a share, NAV is calculated once a day after markets close, so every buyer and seller that day transacts at the same price.

A low NAV does not mean a fund is cheap. A ₹10 NAV and a ₹500 NAV say nothing about which is the better fund — only percentage returns are comparable.
