Buying $1 in Assets for $0.90
You’re probably familiar with mutual funds. Those are investments where your funds are pooled with other investors’ money and the fund manager buys a portfolio of stocks, bonds, or other assets. The price of the fund is equal to the value of the assets in the fund divided by the number of outstanding shares.
For example, if the Marc Lichtenfeld Dividend and Income fund (which I operate out of Marc Lichtenfeld’s Authentic Italian Trattoria’s back office) has $10 million under management and there are 1 million shares outstanding, the fund is worth $10 per share.

The Marc Lichtenfeld Dividend and Income fund now has $10.6 million in assets divided by 1,009,523.8 shares (the original 1,000,000 shares plus the newly created 9,523.8 shares). The price per ...
