High NAV (or) Low NAV mutual fund - Which one is better to invest?

High NAV (or) Low NAV mutual fund -  Which one is better to invest? Lot of people believe that a high NAV fund is not a good one to invest!  Only reason: "It's NAV is high"!    As far as MFs, the NAV doesn't matter at all as it is just a notional number & does not reflect the "PRICE" of the fund. MFs invest in many stocks & it is the performance of the underlying stocks that matter. All mutual funds start with a NAV of 10 when they launch the fund (they can start with NAV of 100 or 40 or any number too - but for standardization it is launched at 10/- NAV - that is all. It does not mean that 10 is cheap or 100 is costly).  Let us consider 2 funds:    Fund A : 10/- NAV (a new fund in the market) Fund B : 100/- NAV (an existing similar fund in the market which has been there for years & hence the NAV is high).  Both obviously will invest in a set of stocks - we will assume that both invests in the same stocks & hence the same stocks w...

This amount is not available for compounding till your retirement, which will affect the retirement corpus substantially. (This amount to be transferred will vary for every individual - You will have to check with your employer how much amount has to be transferred now). Also, further contributions to EPF will also decrease , as this will go towards EPS & which will further reduce the retirement corpus.   No Flexibility : In EPS there is no lumpsum benefit payable upon death of the person. The wife will get 50% pension throughout their life-time.  Whereas, if there is a lumpsum available t...
