Definition: The Net Asset Value, or NAV, is simply a measure of the current dollar value of one share of a mutual fund. It's the fund's assets minus its liabilities divided by the number of outstanding shares.
NAVs are calculated at the end of each trading day. If the NAV increases, then it means the value of your holdings increase (if you are a shareholder).
Also Known As: NAV
Examples: When Fund A's Net Asset Value went from 10 to 11, shareholders experienced a 10% increase in the value of their holdings.
