Standard deviation in mutual funds quantifies a fund's volatility, indicating how much its returns deviate from the average. This crucial risk metric helps Indian investors assess potential fluctuations, as mandated by SEBI's risk-o-meter framework.
Net Asset Value (NAV) in Indian mutual funds represents the per-unit market value of a scheme’s portfolio, calculated daily as per SEBI regulations. This metric directly impacts investor returns, as demonstrated by daily fluctuations and redemption values.
Front running in mutual funds is an illegal practice where an individual uses foreknowledge of a large institutional trade to profit, impacting the fund's NAV. SEBI's PFUTP Regulations, 2003, strictly prohibit this market manipulation, ensuring fair trading practices.
