Summary of Net Asset Value

Those figures under "Mutual Funds" in the financial pages should now make sense to you as an educated investor. You need to know what net asset value is and how it can be affected. Knowing how it works and how it is calculated will help you understand the value of a mutual fund. Keep in mind that the public offering price is nothing more than the net asset value plus the fund's sales charge, if it has one.
