| Forward Pricing | |
 A Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulation that fund companies or investment companies price all of their buy and sell orders according to the next net asset value calculation. This valuation process is typical for conventional mutual fund transactions. |
|
 Forward pricing is implemented when a trade is placed to buy or sell securities (usually mutual funds) after the markets have closed. This is due to the fact that fund companies do not re-calculate the net asset value of their mutual funds until after the market closes. Therefore, any mutual fund orders placed after 4pm EST must be valued according to the next computed net asset valuation. |
