Most major newspapers publish daily price quotations on many mutual funds every business day.
In the first column you will see an abbreviation of each fund's name. If you invest in a fund, you can calculate what your investment is worth by multiplying the NAV by the number of shares you own. It may be greater or less than the amount of your original investment. The third column shows the change in NAV from the previous business day. The percent return illustrates how the fund has performed so far that year.
