That was a very simplistic view of things, in the real world there are MANY VARIABLES that would affect the NAV pricing.
1. Market movements
2. Forex movements
3. Some unitholders elected to cash out i.e. receive distributions in cash
4. Some unitholders elected to reinvest the distributions
5. Big amount of selling/buying into the fund
Among others.
A fund's NAV is computed by its team of accountants
Before publishing, the Trustee will verify the NAV calculation
The fund has to submit regular reports (monthly if I'm not mistaken) to BNM and Securities Commission
Every year the fund's financial statements would be audited by external auditors
The audited financial statements has to be filed with BNM and Securities Commission
If u still doubtful, I guess u should not invest.
Just wait for the distribution statement from FSM to confirm.
I'm not saying FSM is right or wrong, FSM could be wrong, but when the announcement says that REINVESTMENT DATE is 29th, u take NAV price for 29th to compute the distribution units. Period.
The question is not how NAV is calculated but rather which date NAV price is being used to calculate number of units we will get. You're right that ex-date is the one to use but in GTF case NAV price did not drop on ex-date but drop on the next day. Could this because it is a feeder fund and ex-date is not Malaysian date and would delay by a day to 30/10?
