Net asset value (NAV)
Net asset value (NAV) is the value of an entity's assets minus the value of its liabilities, often in relation
to open-end or mutual funds, since shares of such funds registered with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission are redeemed at their net asset value. This may also be the same as the book
value or the equity value of a business. Net asset value may represent the value of the total equity, or it
may be divided by the number of shares outstanding held by investors, thereby representing the net
asset value per share.
Net asset value and other accounting and recordkeeping activities are the result of the process of fund
accounting (also known as securities accounting, investment accounting, and portfolio accounting).
Fund accounting systems are sophisticated computerized systems used to account for investor capital
flows in and out of a fund, purchases and sales of investments and related investment income, gains,
losses and operating expenses of the fund. The fund's investments and other assets are valued regularly;
daily, weekly, or monthly, depending on the fund and associated regulatory or sponsor requirements.
There is no universal method or basis of valuing assets and liabilities for the purposes of calculating the
net asset value used throughout the world, and the criteria used for the valuation will depend upon the
circumstances, the purposes of the valuation and any regulatory and/or accounting principles that may
apply. For example, for U.S.-registered open-ended funds, investments are commonly valued each day
the New York Stock Exchange is open, using closing prices (meant to represent fair value), typically
4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. For U.S.-registered money market funds, investments are often carried or
valued at "amortized cost" as opposed to market value for expedience and other purposes, provided
various requirements are continually met.
At the completion of the valuation process and once all other appropriate accounting entries are posted,
the accounting books are "closed" enabling a variety of information to be calculated and produced
including the net asset value per share.

There are two options available to investors – Growth option and Dividend option. The key
differences between them are as follows:
Growth Option
Investments made under the growth option will not yield any short term income, in the sense that all
money invested will continue to be invested until redeemed - i.e. this will give you capital appreciation
and hence returns, but not regular income. In this case the annual income
This type of investment is more suited for long term investing in equity mutual funds, as there are no
taxes on long term capital gains. Also, equity mutual funds are prone to short term risk, but in the long
term they typically give good returns. This option benefits from the power of compounding since not
only is the principal invested, but also the notional profit. It is a good option for those who do not need
to depend on a monthly income from their investments for their living.
Also, since the fund does not pay out any dividends the NAV is much higher than that of the dividend
option for the same fund - however it is to be noted that this difference is only due to the payment of
dividends and not due to a substantial variation in the fund performance.
Dividend Option
Unlike the growth option, investors opting for the dividend option will get a payout in the form of
dividend. This option is ideal for short term investments, especially in debt. Debt mutual funds with
dividend options are a good option for senior citizens who require a steady income flow and not only
capital appreciation.
This option will give the investor the benefit of moderate capital appreciation along with dividend
returns over the period of holding. It is important to note that due to the payouts, the power of
compounding is not as efficient as compared to that of the growth option. Also, investors who do not
depend on the dividend income will face the risk of re-investment, i.e. re-investing the money earned
via dividend in an asset class which offers good return.
It is important to keep in mind that dividends are not guaranteed, and also that sometimes no dividend
is declared throughout the year.
1. Growth Option: No dividend is declared or paid to the investor. It is more suited to investors
who are looking for long term growth. Under such a plan, an investor realizes the greatest
benefit of compounding.

2. Dividend Option: Under dividend option, mutual fund scheme pays a dividend and the NAV of
the fund goes down by the same amount. It is more suited for investors who desire regular
income from their investment. Please note payment of dividend is not guaranteed. Mutual fund
scheme may or may not pay out the dividend.
3. Dividend Re-Investment Option: Dividend reinvestment option is a variant of dividend
option. Under this option, dividend is not paid out to the investor but gets reinvested in the
scheme i.e. the investors get additional units for the dividend amount. Please understand this
will be considered a fresh investment and these new units will be subject to lock-in restrictions,
if any. Exit load and capital gains implications will also be there if the investor sells off these
new units soon after. Since the scheme does not pay out anything to the investor, investor can
look to dividend re-investment option as an alternative to growth option.
The factors which will affect the choice are investment horizon, applicable income tax slab and
tax treatment of capital gains and dividend income.
