Funds and ETFs: what their prices tell you

A fund pools capital under a defined investment mandate. Mutual funds and ETFs may hold similar assets, but their dealing and pricing conventions can differ.

What to look for

A mutual fund’s net asset value is generally calculated at a valuation point; an ETF also has a market price that can differ from its underlying value. Check the timestamp and price type before comparing the two.
