The definition above is the short version. A full explanation — how it works, a worked example and the exam traps — is still being written. In the meantime the chapter below covers it in context.
Written up from the same chapter
- Exit loadA charge levied when an investor redeems units, calculated as a percentage of NAV and deducted from it, usually only if the units are sold within a stated holding period.
- Mark to MarketThe daily settlement of a futures position at that day's closing price, so gains and losses are paid in cash every evening instead of accumulating until expiry.
- Net Asset ValueThe net assets of a mutual fund scheme divided by the number of units outstanding — what one unit of the scheme is worth on a given day, after every liability except the unitholders' own.
- Record dateThe date on which a company looks at its register and decides who gets the bonus, dividend, rights or split — you must be holding the shares in your demat account at the end of that day.
- Segregated portfolioA ring-fenced sub-portfolio holding the debt instrument hit by a credit event, split out of a scheme so that the good assets stay liquid and exiting investors cannot leave the damaged paper behind.
- Total Expense RatioThe all-in annual cost of a mutual fund scheme as a percentage of daily net assets — the base expense ratio plus brokerage, transaction cost and statutory levies — charged to the scheme, not billed to the investor.
