Mutual fund share prices, unlike shares of stocks and bonds, are calculated once a day, usually at 4:00 p.m. eastern standard time, when the stock market where the shares that mutual funds hold are generally traded.
When buying a mutual fund when is it priced?
Your Actual Price
If you enter a trade to buy or sell shares of a mutual fund, your trade will be executed at the next available net asset value, which is calculated after the market closes and typically posted by 6 p.m. ET. This price may be higher or lower than the previous day's closing NAV.
What time of day do mutual fund prices update?
In the case of liquid or overnight mutual funds, the NAV gets updated daily at 2 p.m. In the case of equity and debt funds, the NAV gets updated at 3 p.m. If you're buying units of equity or debt before 3 p.m., you are allotted the units based on the previous day's NAV.
