To state it simply, a New Fund Offer can be explained as the first subscription opportunity for any new mutual fund announced by any of the Mutual Fund Houses/Asset Management Companies in India. There is a window period, wherein potential investors can apply for the NFO.

New Fund Offerings could be either

  • Close-ended funds (where the mutual fund can be applied for ONLY during the application period, and the mutual fund closes for any fresh cash inflow, and the investment, and redemption rules are carried out as per the scheme document), OR
  • Open-ended funds (where the mutual funds after the initial NFO period opens up for regular investments, whether lump-sum, or Systematic Investment Plan i.e. SIP method).

Think of an NFO like an IPO (Initial Public Offering) for a mutual fund.

Before we start, we assume the following points:

  • You have a demat account with Zerodha Broking. The Zerodha demat account number is in a 16-digit format: 12081600 12345678, where the first 8 digits (viz. 12081600) are of Zerodha DP ID, and last 8 digits (viz. 12345678, in this example) are the Customer ID.

  • You gone through the Scheme Offer Document, to ensure that the objectives of the offered mutual fund scheme are aligned with yours. Please do not go on peer pressure. Assess whether the declared mutual fund rationale aligns with your objectives, and only then apply for the NFO.

Detailed How-to Guide on the NFO Application Process

    – Click on the “Apply Now” button at the bottom left i.e. the Blue button.

  5. Scroll to the desired mutual fund NFO you wish to apply for

    – The list opens to a scrollable list of all the NFO that is presently in the subscription window.
    – Pro-tip: If you click on the name of any mutual fund NFO, the Scheme Information Document will open in a new window with all the details of the selected fund. This should help you with any detailed information for the mutual fund.
    – Scroll to the Mutual Fund NFO you wish to apply for.

  6. Enter the desired amount you wish to invest, and click “Place Order”
