It helps you to show what one unit of the ETF should be worth at any moment, based on the live prices of all the stocks inside its basket. You can look at the iNAV and compare it with the actual trading price on your screen to see if you&#8217;re getting a good deal.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-does-inav-works\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_iNAV_Works\"><\/span>How does iNAV Works?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s understand how an iNAV works by using a simple example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s assume an ETF basket only has two company stocks, one is share of Company A and one is share of Company B. To calculate the iNAV, the system constantly checks the live market price of both stocks. It adds them up, makes tiny adjustments for any cash or expenses, and then shows you the fair value of one ETF unit automatically.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This gives you a transparent, live value for you to invest in your desired ETFs. This is needed because an ETF is a mix as it trades like a stock, but is actually built like a fund. A normal mutual fund&#8217;s price is set only once a day. But since you trade ETFs with other people all day, a once-a-day price is not enough and iNAV solves this problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read Also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pocketful.in\/blog\/best-etfs-in-india-to-invest\/\">Best ETFs in India to Invest<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-difference-between-nav-vs-inav\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Difference_Between_NAV_vs_iNAV\"><\/span>Difference Between NAV vs iNAV<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>NAV is like the snapshot of information that you get once or typically at the end of the day on the other hand iNAV gives you live updates about all the latest happenings throughout the day.

For example, you can go to the websites of Zerodha Fund House, Motilal Oswal, or Mirae Asset to see the live iNAV for their ETFs.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stock Exchange Websites<\/strong>: Both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pocketful.in\/blog\/a-comparative-study-on-nse-v-s-bse-differences-similarities-and-popularity\/\">NSE and BSE<\/a> helps the traders by showing the iNAV on their websites.
