Under the forward pricing rule, an order to buy or redeem open-end mutual fund shares is executed at:
a.The NAV calculated at the previous market close
b.A price negotiated between buyer and seller
c.The average NAV over the prior five business days
d.The next NAV calculated after the order is received
Explanation
Forward pricing requires that mutual fund purchase and redemption orders be filled at the next net asset value computed after the order is received, typically at the end of that business day. This prevents investors from trading on a stale, already-known price and is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
