  • Abstract
    This paper presents a methodology for estimating net asset value (NAV) of domestic mutual funds, using major stock market indices as inputs in a statistical model. The results of this study suggest that such an accurate estimation is possible, and this raises questions about the effectiveness of restrictions on frequent trading (aka market timing) introduced in the mutual fund industry.
