Daily price fluctuation

The actual calculated difference between the net value of the stocks or bond assets held by the Fund each day and the net value increase over the previous trading day minus expenses. 

The calculation formula is: Increase/Decrease (%) = (Current latest net value - Last trading day net value) / Last trading day net value*100%.

Purchase pending confirmation of funds

According to Fund trading rules, it generally takes 4 business days from the initiation of the purchase request to the confirmation of the units (a business day excludes Singapore and fund house holidays). The requested funds are indicated as pending confirmation until the purchase request is confirmed as successful.

The sale amount to be credited (frozen shares)

Refers to the corresponding funds that have not yet arrived in the user's account after fund units are successfully sold (including any current pending orders or unconfirmed units which are frozen).

Holdings

Refer to the currently held fund units.

Unit Net Value

Refers to the value of each unit of the fund on a given day. i.e. the value of each fund unit on a given day after dividing the fund's net assets by the total number of fund units. On each trading day, the total asset value of the fund is calculated based on the market closing price of the securities invested in by the fund. The net asset value of the fund on a given day is obtained after the various costs and expenses of the fund on that day are deducted. This value is further divided by the total number of fund units transacted outside of the fund on that day to get the net value per unit.
