Net Asset Value | This is Money |
 | | NAV is a calculation of a company's assets, like property, less its debts, divided by number of shares in issue. |
 | | Share prices are based on a company's profits, but there are certain businesses where the value of their assets, ranging from buildings to investments in other companies, are more important. |
 | | On most occasions, the NAV per share is lower than the share price, because it is based on the current value of a company's assets. |
