1. What is Average NAV?

Average NAV (Net Asset Value) represents the mean value of a mutual fund's net assets per unit over a specific period. It provides investors with a smoothed view of the fund's performance, reducing the impact of short-term market volatility.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple average formula:

\[ \text{Average NAV} = \frac{\sum NAV}{n} \]

Where:

\( \sum NAV \) — Sum of all NAV values (USD/unit)
\( n \) — Number of periods
Average NAV — Result in USD per unit

Explanation: The formula calculates the arithmetic mean of NAV values, providing a straightforward measure of central tendency for mutual fund performance.

3. Importance of Average NAV Calculation

Details: Calculating average NAV helps investors track fund performance over time, compare different funds, and make informed investment decisions. It smooths out daily fluctuations to reveal underlying trends.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter NAV values separated by commas (e.g., "25.50, 26.10, 25.80, 26.40"). All values must be positive numbers representing USD per unit. The calculator automatically handles the counting and summation.

A: This depends on your analysis period - daily for short-term trends, weekly/monthly for medium-term, or quarterly/annually for long-term performance assessment.

Q4: Can I use this for different currencies?
A: The calculator assumes USD, but you can use any currency as long as you're consistent. The mathematical calculation remains the same regardless of currency.

Q5: What's the difference between average NAV and rolling average NAV?
A: Average NAV calculates mean over a fixed period, while rolling average NAV continuously updates by adding new values and dropping old ones, providing a moving perspective.
