Ms. Kavita Rao invests Rs 1,00,000 in a mutual fund scheme when the NAV is Rs 25. After one year, the NAV is Rs 28 and the scheme has paid an IDCW of Rs 2 per unit during the year. Ignoring taxes and loads, what is her total return for the year?

Her total return is 20%. The NAV rose from Rs 25 to Rs 28, a gain of Rs 3, and she also received Rs 2 of IDCW per unit. The combined Rs 5 gain divided by the Rs 25 starting NAV gives 20%.

  4. D10%

Explanation

Units = 1,00,000 / 25 = 4,000. Capital gain per unit = 3, IDCW per unit = 2, so total gain per unit = 5. Total return = 5 / 25 = 20%. 12% counts only capital appreciation, and 8% counts only the IDCW.
