Ex-dividend NAV and cum-dividend NAV

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

• 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.
• Instant Access FacilityA facility that credits redemption proceeds to a resident individual investor's bank account on the same day, offered only in overnight and liquid schemes and only through the AMC's own website or app.
• KYC Registration AgencyA SEBI-created agency that holds an investor's verified KYC record centrally, so that one KYC completed with any securities market intermediary works with all the others.
• New Fund OfferThe period in which a mutual fund scheme's units are offered to the public for the first time, at a fixed NFO price rather than at NAV, and during which the registrar builds the scheme's first register of investors.
• NominationThe account holder's written direction naming who receives the securities on death — up to ten nominees for a demat account, with percentages that must total 100, mandatory for single holdings.
• Official Point of AcceptanceA location a mutual fund has formally designated to receive transaction requests, where the application is time-stamped — and that stamp, not the moment the investor handed the form over, decides which NAV applies.
