Unfortunately, most firms do not actually use fair-value pricing to eliminate opportunities for arbitrage. This leaves the funds vulnerable to market timers who seek to trade on, or arbitrage, stale prices, by buying fund shares at outdated prices and selling them a day or two later. A few firms actually do use delayed or confirmed exchanges to discourage speculators, forcing them to wait up to seven days to move money from one fund to another. Here again, though, very few firms actually enforce this sort of a policy. Another widespread trading abuse is late trading, where fund shares are bought and sold after the markets close. This practice is…. [read more]
