5-1 Discussion: NAV and Mutual Fund Performance

Choose a mutual fund, provide the previous day’s net asset value (NAV), and determine how this price was calculated. Next, compare the performance of the fund to its benchmark and explain why you think the mutual fund price and benchmark are moving in a certain direction. To find a specific mutual fund, you can search on your own or go a specific fund family such as Vanguard, T. Rowe Price, Pimco, or BlackRock. Once you find a specific fund, its benchmark should be listed within the fund information on the fact sheet/prospectus.
