NAV stands for Net Asset Value, which represents the per-share value of a mutual fund. IPO stands for Initial Public Offering, which is the first time a company offers its shares to the public.

NAV is calculated by subtracting a mutual fund's liabilities from its assets and dividing by the number of outstanding shares.

IPO is the process by which a private company becomes a public company by offering its shares to the public for the first time.
Investors can participate in an IPO to become shareholders of the company.
