7. Example

let's say a mutual fund has $45 million invested in
securities and $5 million in cash for total assets of
$50 million. The fund has liabilities of $10 million.
As a result, the fund would have a total value of
$40 million.
The total value figure is important to investors
because it is from here that the price per unit of a
fund can be calculated. By dividing the total value
of a fund by the number of outstanding units, you
are left with the price per unit—the form of
measurement in which NAV is usually quoted.
If the fund had 4 million shares outstanding, the
price-per-share value would be $40 million divided
by 4 million, which equals a NAV of $10 per share.

Suppose you save $100 each month in you mutual fund
Mutual funds let you buy fractions of shares.
Although the fund is down 1.3% = [(9.87-10)/10]= [(9.87/10)-1],
your investment is only down [(60.5944*9.87)/600]-1= 0.29%.
