The student fraternity of TAPMI invests with us through our annual NFO.

Key Activities:

New Fund Offering (NFO) Samnidhy annually launches its New Fund Offering (NFO), featuring a series of events and a unique investing opportunity for the students spanning 2 to 3 weeks. During this period, prospective investors are presented with an exclusive opportunity to invest in the fund. Last year’s NFO garnered a remarkable response, raising a corpus of INR 18,87,000 and increasing the Assets Under Management (AUM) to INR 29.31 lacs. The NFO successfully attracted 361 new investors, resulting in a batch conversion rate of 67%.
