This one is not written up yet

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

• ASBAThe mandatory payment mechanism for public and rights issues, in which your bank blocks the application money in your own account and debits it only if you actually get an allotment.
• Consolidated Account StatementA single statement showing an investor's transactions and holdings across every scheme of every mutual fund in India, linked by PAN and issued monthly where there has been a transaction.
• Exchange Traded FundA mutual fund scheme whose units are listed and traded on a stock exchange like a share, so you transact at live prices through the day instead of at one end-of-day NAV.
• Fixed Maturity PlanA close-ended debt scheme whose portfolio maturity is aligned to the scheme's own maturity date, so the investor who stays to the end has a reasonably visible outcome — though never a guaranteed one.
• Fund of fundsAn AIF that invests in the units of other AIFs rather than directly in investee companies — buying diversification across managers and strategies, and paying two layers of fees for it.
• IDCWThe renamed dividend option of a mutual fund scheme — a payout that is part income and part return of your own capital, which is why the NAV falls by exactly the amount distributed.
