Forward pricing

Categories: Derivatives, Econ, Trading

This is an SEC rule that requires open-end mutual fund companies to price their fund's shares according to the next Net Asset Value (NAV)—they can't use a previous NAV as the price. If the company sells shares on Tuesday morning, they cannot use Monday's closing NAV; they have to wait until the NAV is calculated for Tuesday; the sale would then transact at that price.
