During the NFO period, a very common connotation raised by many investors is “I will invest when NAV will go below Rs 10”. Which he never knows when it will happen. And lose the opportunity to invest even at Rs 10.
Many people remain confused about whether they should invest at Rs 10 NAV during the NFO period or wait for NAV to get lowered and then invest. My view is quite different here. Below is a chart that can make it clear that those who had invested in the NFO period at Rs 10 NAV, have already made money. You can see the NAV performance since they were launched.
Name of Scheme | Launch Date | Start NAV | Current NAV as of 11th Feb 22 | CAGR* return since launched | Invested Amount | Units Purchased At Launch Date | Current Value as of 11TH Feb 22 |
SBI Small Cap Fund | 09-09-2009 | 10 | 103.57 | 20.72% | 100000 | 10000 | 1035700 |
SBI Flexi Cap Fund | 29-09-2005 | 10 | 76.22 | 13.24% | 100000 | 10000 | 762200 |
SBI Focused Equity Fund | 11-10-2004 | 10 | 237.72 | 19.15% | 100000 | 10000 | 2377200 |
SBI Magnum Global Fund | 30-09-1994 | 10 | 277.56 | 12.93% | 100000 | 10000 | 2775600 |

SBI Bluechip Fund | 14-02-2006 | 10 | 60.3 | 11.95% | 100000 | 10000 | 603000 |
*CAGR- Compounded Annualised Growth Rate
It can be observed from the above chart that every scheme, since its launch at Rs 10 NAV has been able to give better returns in due course of time. Like SBI Small Cap fund when launched at Rs 10 NAV has a NAV of Rs 103.57 as of 11th Feb,22 giving a compounded annualized growth rate of 20.72%. And if someone invested Rs 100000.00 at its launch has a current value of Rs 1035700.00.
In the last column of the chart, you can see the current value of Rs 100000.00 invested at inception.

NAV Movement– Of course, there might have been so many fluctuations in the NAV in these years which can be observed in the below-mentioned NAV performance graph. Another observation that can be depicted here is Longer the period you remain invested, the more returns you will makeirrespective of NAV fluctuations in the initial days or months. Then it becomes quite immaterial what fluctuations it has had in its NAV.
A very important lesson learned here is Correction is temporary and Growth is permanent. NAV corrected many times whenever there was a fall in markets, but again it got its sheen back as markets moved further.
