NAV stands for Net Asset Value, it denotes the price of a unit of a mutual fund scheme. It is a key metric in determining the value of a mutual fund?s assets. NAV for a mutual fund scheme is calculated by adding the total value of a mutual fund scheme's assets, including all the investment made in different kind of securities, and subtracting any liability associated with the mutual fund scheme such as expenses and fee. The resultant amount is then divided by the total number of mutual fund units outstanding. This gives us the per unit NAV of a mutual fund scheme.
