SYMPTOMS

In Portfolio Manager in MSN Money, Today's Total Change remains blank while the market is open.

Also the Change column and the %Change column for mutual funds show the change and the percent change based upon the Previous Close and the Close from the day prior the current trading day.

CAUSE

The Today's Total Change column is only updated after the new Net Asset Value (NAV) is computed at the end of the trading day. Therefore, the change values for mutual funds are not current until MSN Money Investing receives the updated NAV.

MORE INFORMATION

The fund company uses the closing value of the investments in each fund to calculate the NAV of the fund. The quote provider for MSN Money Investing publishes NAV data each business day at or around 5:00 P.M. Eastern time. Some fund managers may update the NAV earlier or later than other managers.

Data is available until approximately midnight Eastern time each night. This means the data does not display after midnight until the Stock Market opens.
