Lets Talk about NFO

NFO or what we know as NEW FUND OFFERING is a term used to define new Mutual Funds that are being launched into the MArket from various AMC Houses. This can be drafted upon any INDEX or any other specific themes like Banking, NBFC, EV, etc but the bottom line is that these are new Mutual Funds that go as an NFO similarly to how new stocks go on an IPO on the Stock Market. But there is indeed a big difference to NFO's in comparison to Mutual Funds that have been running for quite some time and it is HISTORY or TRACK RECORD of the Mutual Fund.
You see when an NFO is launched it comes with its Objective and all of that but it doesn't have a Track Record and even if their Investment Objective sounds amazing I for one would like to Invest my Money in a Mutual Fund that has proven its Track Record by giving consistent Returns on my Investment.

One thing that you should also look at is the fact that NFO's usually have a very low Expense Ratio which is a tactic for them to garner new retail investors to the NFO while they slowly increase that Ratio over time. Also, it should be obvious that AMC's offer NFO's so that they can make some more money as there is only a limit as to how high one Mutual Fund can give Returns as there are a lot of Limitations on them by SEBI, so yeah please do consider those aspects.

Since I have spoken badly about NFO's lets also shed some light on the positives as well. NFO's are not simply a money-making scheme for the AMC's as sometimes great Mutual Funds do come out of them as last year NFO's related to Tech Themes did absolutely fantastic but those Funds are literally few and I feel you will be better off Investing your Funds into Proven Mutual Funds rather than Investing in Uncertainty.
