The reason why open-end funds announce their net value so late is mainly because there are fluctuations in the stock market and bond market on weekdays, and the final net value of the day should be calculated after the close. When the stock market closes, the fund company calculates the net value of the fund under the supervision of the custodian bank and then announces it. It takes several hours, so although the closing price is 15, the net announcement is generally between 18 and 2 1.
The so-called working day is the day when the stock market opens. Weekends and national holidays are not working days.
There is also a special situation, that is, the net value announcement of newly established funds is quite special. The newly established fund entered a closed period. During this period, the net value of the fund will only be published once a week, and will not be updated every working day before the normal subscription and redemption are opened.
