Market Conditions: Broad economic trends, investor sentiment, and overall market volatility affect the demand and supply of the fund's units, influencing its price. Interest Rate Changes: Shifts in interest rates can impact the value of fixed-income securities held by the fund, which in turn affects the fund's price. Fund Management Expertise: The skill and effectiveness of the fund manager in selecting and managing assets significantly influence the fund's returns and price. Fund Expenses: Management fees, operating expenses, and other costs associated with running the fund are deducted from its returns, affecting its NAV and price. Supply and Demand: The balance between buyers and sellers of the fund's units determines its price in the market. Higher demand generally leads to a higher price.
