LIC Nomura Mutual Fund has launched a new close ended income scheme named “LIC NOMURA MF Fixed Maturity Plan Series 87 (371 Days)” with maturity period of 371 days from the date of allotment. The New Fund Offer (NFO) price for the scheme is Rs 10 per unit. The NFO opened for subscription today and will close on July 16. According to the offer document filed with SEBI, the entry load is nil and since the scheme is planned to be listed on the Stock Exchange or any other exchange, the exit load charge will not be applicable. This suggests that the investors wishing to exit may do so through the stock exchange mode. The minimum application amount is Rs 10,000 and in multiples of Rs 1 thereafter. The options available under the Plan of the Scheme are Growth and Dividend Payout option. The performance of the scheme will be benchmarked against CRISIL Short Term Bond Fund Index. Killol Pandya will be the Fund Manager of the scheme. The asset allocation of scheme will be in such a way that the objective of the scheme to minimize interest rate risk will be met by investing in a portfolio of debt instruments and money market instruments. Hence, the scheme will allocate 0 to 20 per cent of asset in debt instruments and 80 to 100 per cent of asset in money market instruments.
