A. B. C. D. E.

An investment company sells shares in itself, and uses the proceeds to invest in a portfolio of individual investments such as stocks and bonds. If such a company sold 1 million shares for $50 dollars each, it would invest $50 million (minus commissions) into things like government bonds or speculative stocks. If the value of this portfolio increased to $60 million, the NAV would increase to $60.
