Question
A closed-end fund has total assets of $390 million and liabilities of $210,000. Currently, 21 million shares are outstanding. What is the NAV of the fund? If the shares currently sell for $17.5, what is the premium or discount on the fund? (Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the NAV to 2 decimal places. Enter the premium or discount as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" & "%" signs in your response.)
Net asset value $ Premium or discount %Explanation / Answer
a.
Net assets value = (Total assets – Liabilities)/Number of shares outstanding = ($390,000,000 - $210,000)/2,100,000 shares = $18.56
b.
Current selling price = $17.50
Discount percentage = ($18.56 - $17.50)/$18.56 = 5.71%
or, Premium percentage = -5.71%
