After some trouble days in the stock markets, investors seems to have lost confidence a bit and trying to stay away from New Fund Offers from Mutual Funds. This is because of the fact that almost all recently launched NFOs are in the negative NAV. Of course, even the senior fund schemes too are tasting trouble times after the recent correction in both the domestic and the global markets. With the US economy in a possible recession, crude oil touching newer highs every day, just few months of Indian Elections, the stock markets, it seems, wont go in for a huge rallies at least for some time now. Needless to stay, even the most cautious Mutual Fund investor too is trying to stay cautious and this is appearing from the inflow of the Mutual Fund NFOs. Are the good days for the NFOs over for some time now? or aren’t the marketing campaigns of the mutual fund houses not looking that savvy? Let’s wait and see..
