Question

The Stone Harbor Fund is a closed-end investment company with a portfolio currently worth $310 million. It has liabilities of $3 million and 10 million shares outstanding. If the fund sells for $28 a share, what is its premium or discount as a percent of NAV

Answer 1

Answer: 8.79%

Explanation:

The premium or discount as a percent of NAV will be calculated thus:

NAV will be calculated as:

= (Market value of portfolio - liabilities ) / shares outstanding

= ($310 million - $3million) ÷ 10 million

= $30.7 per share.

Then, the calculation for the discount percent will be:

= (selling price - NAV) / NAV

= ($28 - $30.7) / $30.7

= ($-2.7) / $30.7

= (0.0879)

= 8.79%

Therefore, NAV is trading at discount of 8.79%
