How Mutual-fund cut-off time works
Submitting an instruction is not always enough; applicable rules can also depend on when cleared money becomes available to the scheme. Timings differ by transaction and scheme type and can change, so the current official rule should be checked.
An example
An order entered before a displayed deadline may still receive a later NAV if the required funds reach the scheme after the relevant availability condition.
Why it matters for your family
For a time-sensitive family payment, do not depend on a same-day NAV assumption. Leave room for bank processing, holidays, settlement and operational rejection.
