Money Q&A: Pricing, Distributions, and Market Timing - Fund Units Explained

In this episode, we are joined by Aaron, our Portfolio Analyst, to explain fund units and how they work. 

We cover important topics like swing pricing and the effects of distributions, helping both new and experienced investors understand these concepts better. Tune in to learn how fund units work!

Specifically, we chat about:

• What are units in a fund, and how are they different from company shares?
• How is the unit price set, and why is end-of-day valuation important?
• Why does the unit price on the Kernel platform sometimes look outdated?
• How do distributions affect unit prices, and what does that mean for you?
• Should you wait for a lower unit price, or is dollar cost averaging a better approach?
• How does order timing relate to unit pricing in different time zones?
