This video breaks down essential mutual fund concepts—Net Asset Value (NAV), Expense Ratio, Regular Plan, and Direct Plan—in a clear, beginner-friendly way. It explains how NAV reflects a fund’s worth, dives into the fees you pay via the Expense Ratio, and compares Regular and Direct Plans to help you maximize returns.
What We’ll Unpack:
- NAV Explained: Per-share value of a fund, calculated from total assets divided by shares—your key to tracking performance over time.
- Expense Ratio: The slice of your investment covering management and operational costs—lower ratios keep more money in your pocket.
- Regular vs. Direct: Regular Plans include advisor commissions, hiking fees; Direct Plans skip the middleman for lower costs and better gains.
- Why It Matters: Understanding these terms helps you pick funds that align with your goals and avoid unnecessary expenses.
- Smart Tip: The video nudges you toward Direct Plans for cost savings, especially if you’re comfy investing solo.
