<h2>What is an NFO?&nbsp;</h2>When an asset management company (AMC) or a mutual fund announces a new scheme to raise capital, they <a target="_blank" href="https://mintgenie.livemint.com/news/markets/what-is-an-nfo-and-how-does-it-differ-from-an-ipo-we-explain-151639631690072">launch an NFO</a>. It allows the public to invest in the pool for the first time. The money raised is mainly used to invest in securities like bonds and equity.

The exit load of 1 per cent on the New Asset Value (NAV) will be applicable only if the units are redeemed within one month from the date of allotment and 'nil' thereafter. Prateek Pant, Chief Business Officer of WhiteOak Capital Mutual Fund, said the fund house aims to launch a range of funds over the next year-and-a-half.

"We will cover India well beyond the metro cities, including B30 locations, to achieve higher inclusivity through omni-channel presence across physical, virtual and digital channels," he added.

White Oak Capital group, which provides investment management and advisory services for equity assets of over ₹40,000 crore, recently entered the mutual fund space by acquiring Yes MF.

Pursuant to completion of transaction in November 2021, the name of YES Asset Management was changed to WhiteOak Capital Asset Management and YES Mutual Fund into WhiteOak Capital Mutual Fund in January this year.

The group is founded by Prashant Khemka, formerly CIO of Goldman Sachs Asset Management's India Equity and Global Emerging Markets Equity businesses.
