  • Always include PY ending TNA in average net asset calc. The system always includes the total net assets (TNA) from the last day of the prior year when calculating the average net assets for the current year. 

  • Use PY ending TNA only once in average net asset calc. The system only includes the total net assets from the last day of the prior year when calculating the average net assets for the first time in the current year (that is, the first business day). After the first reimbursement is triggered, the system no longer includes the prior year's final TNA when calculating the average net assets. Only current year TNA is used when calculating average net assets.

Avg Net Asset Calc Start Date

991

Specifies if the system can use NAVs from dates earlier than the Accrual Beginning Date field value when calculating variable expenses that use average net assets. This field appears if you set the NAV Component field to Average Net Assets. Options include:

  • Based on Accrual Beginning Date. The system includes NAVs based on the Accrual Beginning Date field when calculating an average. For example, if the accrual begins on January 1, 2014, the system starts with the NAV from December 31, 2013.

  • Based on Calculation Frequency Period. The system includes those NAVs in the NAV table that fall within the Avg Net Asset Freq field period when calculating an average, even when those NAVs have dates earlier than that specified in the Accrual Beginning Date field.
