Step 1
Before Pricing the per share price of a mutual fund, you must know what positions the mutual fund holds. This could be stocks, bonds, options, warrants, real estate money market funds. Just about any investment product.
-
Step 2
You now need to know what the current market price of each security held by the fund. This can include accrued interest, dividends, rents, royalties etc. Once an accurate price for each security is obtained, you will need to value the fund position. To do this multiply the number of each holdings times that securities price. This will give each positions value. From here accrued interest would be added to reflect a more accurate value. You will use the sum of the position values to find the Net Asset Value for the fund.
-
Step 3
Determine the total number of shares outstanding for the mutual fund. This figure the number of shares people own.
-
Step 4
Take the total value of the positions (from step 2) and divide that number by the total number of shares outstanding (from step 3). This will give you the Net Asset Value per Share for the mutual fund. It is necessary to process this daily in order to account for purchases and liquidations for the funds investors.
