Mutual Funds

A Mutual Fund is an investment vehicle which pools money from numerous investors through issuance of shares to the public. The price of a mutual fund share is known as the Net Asset Value per Share or NAVPS, which is determined at the end of each business day. This is calculated by subtracting the fund’s liabilities from the fund’s market value divided by the number of outstanding shares. 

A Mutual Fund's portfolio is managed by an Investment Manager. These funds are invested in various securities according to the policies, investment strategies and objectives of the fund.

As an investor, you will have the following benefits:
