In general is better to avoid NFOs due to the following reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. NFOs do not have a track record of history. It is difficult to see how they perform over a reasonable period of time.<\/li>
  2. They are pushed more with a marketing hype<\/li>
  3. Often a Rs 10 NAV is showcased to show it is cheaper to buy, but thats an optical illusion. The value of the fund is as good as the underlying stocks.<\/li>
  4. Often NFOs are pushed as close ended funds to garner higher commissions for the distributors.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    So what do you do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Go for open ended funds with good track record<\/li>
    2. Go for direct plan mutual funds as you save on commission<\/li>
    3. Go with a trusted advisor not someone who offers free platform or a free relationship that costs you much more in the long run!<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n\n
