Things to Consider Before Investing in NFOs
Before investing in these new funds, consider the following factors:
Track record of fund house and fund manager
Investment theme and market timing
Expense ratio and exit load
Your own risk profile and financial goals
NFOs can be exciting opportunities, but they lack past performance data. It’s wise to evaluate the theme’s relevance and long-term growth potential before committing.
Final Takeaway
The November 2025 lineup of NFOs offers diverse options — from infrastructure and small-cap growth to global innovation and ESG investing.
Whether you’re looking for long-term capital appreciation or stable hybrid exposure, there’s likely a fund that aligns with your financial goals.
Always consult your financial advisor before investing, and ensure your selections fit your risk tolerance and time horizon.
FAQs
1. What is a New Fund Offer (NFO)?
An NFO is the first-time subscription offer of a new mutual fund scheme to investors.
2. Can I invest in multiple NFOs simultaneously?
Yes, but it’s best to diversify only across themes that complement your existing portfolio.
3. Are NFOs better than existing mutual funds?
Not always — unlike existing funds, NFOs lack historical performance data, so evaluation depends on the fund’s theme and management quality.
4. How much should I invest in an NFO?
Start small, typically ₹5,000–₹10,000, and increase once the fund establishes performance consistency.
5. When do NFOs convert to regular mutual fund schemes?
After the subscription period ends, units are allotted, and the scheme becomes open for normal transactions post listing.
