When you use month end processing, the Month End Valuation Process recalculates the month-end total net assets based on the as-of adjustments stored on the Monthly Ledger Balance table, and calculates the month-end NAV. The system stores this information on the Monthly ESTAR NAV table. It also stores the valuation period indicators, Transaction Close and Valuation Close, on the Monthly ESTAR NAV table. You can use the Close, Reopen, and List Monthly Valuation Periods panels to access the information on this table. WRITERS NOTE: what initiates the Month End Valuation Process?
