There’s a buzz in the market considering the latest launch of this NFO of Aditya Birla Sun Life MF. Know all about the same!
If you are an active investor, you might have come across some of the thematic and catchy mutual fund advertisements declaring the New Fund Offer (NFO) for their newly proposed schemes. It is a conventional practice imitated by all the mutual fund companies to launch the NFOs as the equity market heads upward.

Recently, Aditya Birla Sun Life Mutual Fund (ABSL Mutual Fund) has released an NFO for its new scheme under the name of Aditya Birla Sun Life Resurgent India Fund Series 6. Before moving on to the details of this new NFO, let us first understand what NFO is?

What Is NFO?

NFO is a first time subscription offered by an Asset Management Company (AMC) for its brand-new scheme. NFO is often confused with Initial Public Offering (IPO) of a share and impels the investors to presume they are investing at cheaper NAV. The initial buying offer for a new fund varies as per the structuring of the fund. NFOs can be open-ended or closed-ended for different segments like debt, equity, fixed maturity, and hybrid funds. 

Why Are NFOs Launched?

NFOs are launched to raise capital from the investors in order to buy securities like shares or government bonds. As a matter of fact, they are meant to pool in money in a fund house to complete its product basket or to fulfill the demand from the investors for a particular theme. Open-end funds have no purchase time restriction as that in closed-end funds, which can be purchased only during the offer period.

ABSL Resurgent India Fund Series 6 – NFO

With the tagline- ‘Ek “Ujjawal Bharat” Ki Disha Mein’ Aditya Birla Sun Life MF invites the public to invest in its new MF scheme.
