What does it indicate if a debt fund's AUM falls sharply in a short period without a corresponding fall in NAV?

0% of students got this wrong

EXPLANATION

A sharp AUM drop without NAV decline indicates large outflows (redemptions). For debt funds holding illiquid instruments, this can force the manager to sell liquid assets first, leaving the portfolio with a higher concentration of illiquid/lower-quality bonds — increasing risk for remaining investors.
