A closed-ended mutual fund scheme has net assets of ₹240 crore and 8 crore units outstanding. Its units trade on the exchange at ₹26. What is the position of the market price relative to NAV?

NAV equals net assets divided by units: ₹240 crore divided by 8 crore gives ₹30. Since the exchange price is ₹26, the units trade ₹4 below NAV, which is a discount. Closed-ended units commonly trade at discounts because of limited liquidity.

  1. ATrading at a discount of ₹4 to NAV of ₹30Correct
  2. BTrading at a premium of ₹4 to NAV of ₹22
  3. CTrading at a discount of ₹4 to NAV of ₹22
  4. DTrading exactly at NAV of ₹26

Explanation

NAV = 240 crore / 8 crore units = ₹30 per unit. The market price of ₹26 is ₹4 below NAV, so it is at a discount. The premium option wrongly uses a NAV of ₹22, which is not supported by the data.
