14. Why should one invest in this NFO at Rs 10 whereas the existing ones are available at

a discount?

Even if the existing ones are available at discount and Reliance Infrastructure Fund is available at

Rs 10, it does not matter. What matters is actual appreciation in the NAV irrespective of the base

NAV at which one enters. This means even if you enter at Rs 10 or Rs 8, if the % increase in the

NAV happens to be the same under both the scenarios, it does not matter.

For ex. If an existing infrastructure fund A has NAV of Rs 5 and Reliance Infrastructure Fund is

issued at Rs 10 per unit, assume same portfolio in both the funds and Investor invests Rs. 1000/-,

He will be allocated 200 Units of fund A and 100 Units of Reliance Infrastructure Fund. One

year down the line lets assume both the funds have appreciated by 20% , the respective NAVs

would be Rs 6 for Fund A and Rs. 12 for Reliance Infrastructure Fund. The total value of the

investment will be same i.e Rs 1200 (Rs 12 X 100 Units = Rs 1200; Rs. 6 X 200 Units = Rs 1200)
