This week's new fund offerings are spread through Index, momentum and sectoral funds. With 18 new fund offers open during the first week of December, most launches have been under the index fund category, while quite a few theme based schemes are also open.
Investors have poured money into NFOs in hopes of early entrance into specific themes and a certain cost advantage. Amid the buzz and thrill around these new launches, it is important to note that the promised cost advantage due to the lower net asset value may not translate into significant gains.
