How to determine the cost per mutual fund unit?

The cost per mutual fund unit can be calculated using a straightforward formula:

The formula for cost per unit is:

§§ \text{Cost per Unit} = \frac{\text{Total Assets}}{\text{Total Units}} §§

where:

  • § \text{Cost per Unit} § — the cost of each mutual fund unit
  • § \text{Total Assets} § — the total value of the assets in the mutual fund
  • § \text{Total Units} § — the total number of units issued by the mutual fund

This calculation provides insight into how much each unit of the mutual fund costs based on the total assets and the number of units available.

Example:

Total Assets (§ \text{Total Assets} §): $100,000

Total Units (§ \text{Total Units} §): 1,000

Cost per Unit:

§§ \text{Cost per Unit} = \frac{100000}{1000} = 100 \text{ USD} §§
