Mr. Sonu reads about the risk factors given in the offer document and invests in an equity mutual fund scheme. After a few days, the stock market crashes, and the NAV of the equity fund goes down. What can Mr. Sonu do in such a situation?

Practice question from NISM Series V A - Short Mock Test 4 — bank. The correct answer is highlighted below with a full explanation.

Options

  1. A

    He can appeal to SEBI and get a remedy

  2. B

    He can get a remedy from the AMC

  3. He is not likely to get any remedy from the AMC

    Correct answer

  4. D

    He is likely to get a remedy from the trustees of the AMC

Why this is the answer

The offer document of a mutual fund clearly states that mutual fund investments are subject to market risks. Stock market fluctuations can cause the NAV of equity funds to rise or fall. This is a normal market condition, and neither the AMC nor SEBI can offer a remedy for such fluctuations, as they are inherent to equity market investments.
