Hi,
Im not sure how relevant my query is to this thread:-
Consider that an Investor X invests a certain amount with an MF (open-ended) when it has just started. He will get his units at par NAV, say Rs. 10.
Now say a couple of months down the line, another Investor Y decides to invest. If the market is slump then, the NAV of the fund will be lower. That would mean that Y will get more units compared to X, even if they invest the same amount.
Is my assumption correct? WOuldnt this mean that X would lose profits when Y entered? Do MFs make some adjustment to NAV or number of units allotted then? Because otherwise, considering that the MF has NAV less than par value, earlier investors will keep losing more when new investors invest the same amount as the old ones.
Can somebody please clarify this doubt?
Thanks...
