I REPEAT AGAIN
A fund is a fund, it holds many different stocks. E.g. today the fund have Maybank, CIMB, Nestle and Digi. NAV price of the fund is RM1.0000.
Next month, it has Maybank, CIMB, Dutch Lady and Maxis. NAV price of the fund is RM0.9000.
Can u say it is "cheap" to top up now? Yes and no, A LOT OTHER FACTORS TO CONSIDER.
The fund could have dumped Nestle at a (huge) loss, and bought Dutch Lady when it is trading quite high. So, IT IS NOT CHEAP TO TOP UP NOW.
SUMMARY - NAV PRICE IS MEANINGLESS WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE UNDERLYING HOLDINGS
NAV price behaves very differently to price of a stock of a listed company.

i think i get what you are trying to convey.....(it is the assets in the fund MINUS all liabilities DIVIDED by no: of shares)
so in that case, it means one can go in at anytime as the NAV low or high is meaning less. (as Assets and liabilities can change very often). So, no need to wait for a better time or buy low sell high situation
i avoided the word "cheaper" or "expensive"
