While NFOs can offer investors access to a new investment strategy, a new fund does not necessarily mean a better fund. Unlike an existing scheme, an NFO has little or no performance history to assess. Investors should therefore look at the fund's investment strategy, asset allocation, costs, risk level and how it fits into their existing portfolio before investing.

Fund houses typically launch NFOs to add new strategies to their product range or fill gaps in their existing offerings. For investors, the key is to assess whether the new scheme adds something useful to their portfolio rather than investing simply because it is new.
