New Fund Offer - NFO
What is a 'New Fund Offer - NFO'
Fund Offerings
Mutual Funds are The Most Common Type oF New Fund Offering. New Fund Offerings can be for Open-End or Closed-End Mutual Funds.
New Exchange Traded Funds are also First Offered Through a New Fund Offering. Below are Details on How to Invest In a Few of the Market’s Common Types of New Fund Offerings.
Open-End Fund
In a New Fund Offer, an Open-End Fund will Announce New Shares for Purchase on a Specified launch Day. Open-End Funds do not Limit their Number of Shares. These Funds can be Bought and Sold from a Brokerage Firm on Their Initial launch Date and Thereafter.
The Shares do not Trade on an Exchange and are Managed by the Fund Company and/or Fund Company Affiliates. Open-End Mutual Funds Report Net Asset Values Daily After The Market’s Close.
Fund Companies Can Launch New Fund Offers for New Strategies or Add Additional Shares Classes to existing strategies. One Example of a New Open-End Fund launch is VanEck’s Offering of Two New Share Classes in the VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat Strategy (Class I
shares: MWMIX; Class Z shares: MWMZX).
Closed-End Fund
Closed-End New Fund Offers Are Often Some of The Most Highly Marketed New Fund Issuances since Closed-End Funds only Issue a Specified Number of Shares During Their New Fund Offer. Closed-End Funds Trade on an Exchange with Daily Price Quotes Throughout The Day. Investors can Buy Closed-End Funds on Their launch Date Through a Brokerage firm. (See also Closed-End vs. Open-End Funds.)
One example of a New closed-end Fund Offer is the Dreyfus Alcentra Global Credit Income 2024 Target Term Fund (DCF). The Fund raised $140 million from its New Fund Offer.
Exchange-Traded Fund
New Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) are also launched Through a New Fund Offer. On November 9, 2017, Vanguard launched the Vanguard Total Corporate Bond ETF (VTC). The New Fund Offer increased the firm’s U.S. fixed income Fund Offerings to 17 ETFs. The New
ETF is an index Fund that Seeks to Replicate the Holdings and Performance of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Bond Index By Investing in the Vanguard Short-Term Corporate Bond ETF (VCSH), Vanguard Intermediate-Term Corporate Bond ETF (VCIT) and Vanguard Long-Term Corporate Bond ETF (VCLT). It trades on the NASDAQ stock exchange with an expense ratio of 0.07%.
Launches and Alerts
Often, New Fund Offers are not widely publicized making them challenging to identify. Companies must register a New Fund Offering with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Offering one method of tracking. Investors seeking information on New Fund
Offers prior to their launch date may also receive alerts from their brokerage firm. News outlets and News aggregators are also a good source for information on New Fund Offers. Sources such as the Closed-End Fund Center provide details on New Fund Offers.
Companies will also issue press releases on New Fund Offers. For example, Vanguard issued a press release in August 2017 announcing the launch of the Vanguard Total Corporate Bond ETF in November 2017.
A New Fund Offer is similar to an initial public Offering. Both represent attempts to raise capital to further operations. New Fund Offers can be accompanied by aggressive marketing campaigns, created to entice investors to purchase units in the Fund. New Fund Offers often have potential for significant gains after beginning to trade publicly A New Fund Offer (NFO) is the first subscription Offering for any New Fund Offered by an investment company. A New Fund Offer occurs
when a Fund is launched, allowing the firm to raise capital for purchasing securities. Mutual Funds are one of the most common New Fund Offerings marketed by an investment company. The initial purchasing Offer for a New Fund varies by the Fund’s structuring
