NEW DELHI: Edelweiss Mutual Fund on Thursday said it has mobilised over Rs 1,000 crore during the new fund offering (NFO) of its multi-cap fund. This is the highest collection ever achieved by the fund house in an equity NFO, with over 65,000 applications.

The NFO was open from October 4-18 and will re-open for subscription from October 30 onwards, as per a statement.
