NAV Premiums, Discounts, and iNAV

Premium-to-NAV, discount-to-NAV, and indicative NAV terms used in fund price analysis.

NAV premium and discount pages explain how traded fund prices can diverge from underlying value.

This subsection is most relevant for ETFs, closed-end funds, and intraday pricing comparisons.

In this section

  • Discount to NAV
    Situation in which a fund's market price trades below its net asset value, most often discussed for closed-end funds.
  • Indicative Net Asset Value (iNAV): Meaning and Example
    Learn what indicative net asset value means, how it is used with exchange-traded products, and why it is only an estimate rather than a final NAV.
  • Premium to NAV
    Situation in which a fund's market price trades above its net asset value, often because investors value the structure or strategy more highly than the portfolio alone.
