Net Asset Value (NAV)

Net Asset Value (NAV) represents the total value of a fund’s assets minus its liabilities, divided by the number of outstanding shares. It reflects the underlying value of each share in a mutual fund or ETF.


NAV is typically calculated daily and helps investors understand the value of their investment. For ETFs, the market price may differ slightly from the NAV due to trading activity throughout the day.
