## Detailed Explanation of Net Asset Value (NAV)
NAV is defined as the market value of a fund’s total assets minus its total liabilities. When this figure is divided by the number of outstanding units, it provides the NAV per unit, a key figure for investors. In property or real estate-focused funds, NAV takes into account both tangible assets such as physical properties as well as other financial instruments and cash holdings.
### NAV Calculation Method
1. **Asset Valuation:**
– Market value of all real estate assets (valued by independent appraisers as per fund policy)
– Cash holdings and equivalents
– Receivables and other liquid investments
2. **Liability Deduction:**
– Outstanding debt (mortgages and loans against properties)
– Payables and accrued expenses
– Other obligations
3. **Resulting figure:**
– Total Assets – Total Liabilities = Net Assets
4. **Per Unit Calculation:**
– Net Assets divided by number of outstanding fund units
