Purchasing Open-ended Scheme Directly From The Fund Manager

You can also purchase open-ended mutual fund schemes. These schemes are not traded in the stock exchange. One can directly purchase or sell shares of such schemes from or to the fund manager. The purchase/sale price is based on the Net Asset Value (NAV) of the scheme. Net Asset Value (NAV) indicates the underlying value of the mutual fund. It shows how much each investor would receive if the mutual fund portfolio was to be liquidated and all liabilities were paid off.

In Nepal, NIBL Ace Capital Limited is operating Nepal’s first open-ended mutual fund scheme which is known as ‘NIBL Sahabhagita Fund’. You can contact NIBL Ace Capital for purchasing units in this scheme.

Siddhartha Capital is in the process of bringing an open ended scheme called ‘Siddhartha Systematic Investment Scheme’. It has yet to issue the shares to the public.
