An aggressive fund charges 4% FEL.The fund has 2m shares outstanding last year. This year the fund has 20% new investor. If the fund has total assets of $210m and liabilities $13m in both years, find the price of the fund this year and last year
Answer :-
Price of fund this year = $102.60
Price of fund next year = $93.28
Calculation :-
First we have to calculate NAV,
NAV = (Total assets - liablities ) / Shares outstanding
NAV (this year) = 210m-13m / 2m
= 98.5
Share outstanding nezt year = 2m + 20% ==> 2.2m
NAV (next year) = 210m -13m / 2.2m
= 89.55
Price of the fund = NAV / ( 1- FEL)
Price of the fund ( this year) = 98.5 / ( 1- 0.04)
= 98.5 / 0.96
= 102.60
Price of the fund ( next year ) = 89.55 / ( 1 - 0.04)
= 89.55 / 0.96
= 93.28
Note :- Front end load (FEL) is a charge or commission that investor pays upfront.
