Floating net asset value (NAV) funds require investors to consider and track both yield and NAV fluctuations in order to estimate how many days it will take to reach a breakeven against their initial investment.

To help evaluate this, we have designed a hypothetical tool to simulate how various yield and NAV fluctuation scenarios influence the breakeven point. This calculator provides analysis based on your input.
