My Mutual Fund orders are not going through. Why? - StockTrak? ›

Mutual fund orders do not work like other types of securities. Orders can be placed throughout the day, but they are only processed/filled at approximately 6:00 pm EST. Any orders placed after 4:00 pm EST will not be filled until 6:00 pm EST the following day.

Some brokerages and fund companies require orders to be placed earlier than the market close, while others allow same-day execution right up to the market close. The settlement period for mutual-fund transactions varies from one to three days, depending on the type of fund.

Each particular option contract has its own trading volume and it is very likely that your option orders aren't filling because those contracts have little to no volume in the real world.

Your Mutual fund order may get rejected for the following reasons: Insufficient balance in your bank account for the order to be placed. Attempting to place a new Mutual fund order on the same day as selling your MF holdings may result in rejection, as the fund settlement (T+3) has not yet been completed.

Mutual funds are processed by the Fund houses only on working days. Due to SEBI regulations, it now takes two full working days to complete processing. Example: If you placed your order on a Friday after 2 PM, it will be picked up for processing only on Tuesday night and unit allocation would be done on Wednesday.

Your trade is always priced and dealt at the next available point, which is usually midday the next working day. The fund manager can then take up to five days to confirm the final fund price, although in most cases it takes less than 24 hours.

Your order won't be filled if there aren't enough shares available at the specified price or number. This occurs most frequently with large orders placed on low-volume securities.

Note, even if the stock reached the specified limit price, your order may not be filled, because there may be orders ahead of yours. In that case, there may not be enough (or additional) sellers willing to sell at that limit price, so your order wouldn't be filled.

Government securities and stock options are settled the following business day, whereas orders with conditions such as limits, stop-losses, or stop-buys could take longer to fill or might never get filled at all.

Mutual fund orders do not work like other types of securities. Orders can be placed throughout the day, but they are only processed/filled at approximately 6:00 pm EST. Any orders placed after 4:00 pm EST will not be filled until 6:00 pm EST the following day.

To secure the day's NAV for your mutual fund purchase, you will need to initiate the transaction by 3:00 PM. This deadline applies to most mutual fund schemes and is set by AMCs (Asset Management Companies) or RTAs (Registrar and Transfer Agents) in accordance with SEBI regulations.

Unlike stocks and ETFs, mutual funds trade only once per day, after the markets close at 4 p.m. ET. If you enter a trade to buy or sell shares of a mutual fund, your trade will be executed at the next available net asset value, which is calculated after the market closes and typically posted by 6 p.m. ET.

NAV is updated every day after market hours from Monday to Friday and released by the AMCs by the end of the day, which is by 9 PM. So, Mutual funds NAVs are based on the value of the previous date. For example, on 3rd May, the NAV value that you see will be on 2nd May.

It takes 3-4 working days from the date of purchase for mutual fund units to get allocated. You will get a confirmation email from the AMC when the units are allocated to you.

Do a Performance Comparison with Other Funds in the Same Category. Another thing to do when you face loss in a mutual fund is to do a performance comparison with other funds in the same category. It means checking the response of funds in the same category, such as comparing small-cap funds with other small-cap funds.

Mutual Fund Redemption Time is as follows: When you redeem your mutual fund, you will typically receive your unit's funds within 1 to 3 working days. If you redeem a debt-related fund or a liquid fund, you will get your money within 1 to 2 working days.

Most mutual fund schemes set a 3 PM deadline for buy transactions, excluding liquid fund schemes. If you invest by 3:00 PM, you'll receive the NAV for that day.

The majority of mutual fund schemes have a 3 PM buy transaction deadline. Liquid fund schemes, however, are not subject to this scheduling. This indicates that if you invest up to 3:00 PM, you will receive the day's NAV. If you submit your application after the deadline, the mutual fund firm will still accept it.
