What Is A Mutual Fund's Net Asset Value (NAV)?





Commonly written as NAV, Net Asset Value is the current dollar value of a single share in a mutual fund. It's the fund's assets minus its liabilities divided by the number of outstanding shares. A fund's NAV is calculated at the end of each business day.

You can track a fund's NAV like you would the price of an individual stock. If the NAV goes down over time, it's bad; if it goes up, it's good.
