How often do mutual funds update their prices?
Mutual fund prices, also known as net asset value (NAV), are updated once a day after the U.S. stock market close, usually between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. EST. Closed-end funds, however, don't have to update their price or NAV daily.
How do NAVS change with stock prices?
For closed-end funds, NAVs change only with fluctuations in the value of the portfolio. While a stock's price fluctuates significantly throughout the day, a mutual fund's price is based on a NAV calculation that is updated at the end of the business day.
