Excluding fees, mutual fund shares are bought and sold at the same price, which equals the total value of the fund’s assets divided by the number of shares in the mutual fund. Price examples:
| Price examples: | |
| Acquisition Price | $2.035 |
| Base Price | $2.005 |
| Total Assets per share | $2.000 |
| Redemption Price | $1.995 |
When fees are introduced, buying and selling prices differ.
Buyers may pay $2.035 per share, while sellers receive only $1.995 per share.
