Net asset value (NAV) is the value of an investment fund’s assets minus its liabilities. At the end of each trading day, funds, most commonly equity mutual funds or ETFs, calculate their NAV and report it on a per unit basis.
The net asset value provides investors with a measure of the performance of a fund. Regular and accurate reporting of the NAV is an essential task for portfolio managers. NAV offers a measure of the value of a fund’s assets less liabilities, and growth in the NAV is a direct measure of fund performance. Should a fund’s NAV start to fall, this likely represents investor withdrawals, poor performance, or spiralling liabilities (e.g. in a failed short trade).
