When a fund is single priced, the prices of its shares are calculated using the mid-market prices of the underlying assets held by the fund. However, the actual cost of purchasing or selling a fundâ€(tm)s assets and investments may deviate from the mid-market value used in calculating the share price due to dealing charges, taxes, and any spread between the buying and selling prices of the investments. These costs may have an adverse effect on the value of the fund known as ‘dilutionâ€(tm). The FSAâ€(tm)s regulations allow the cost of dilution to be met directly from the fundâ€(tm)s assets (which may affect the performance of the fund) or to be recovered from investors on the purchase or redemption of shares in the fund.

If a company issues new stock, the earnings per share and the book value per share decline. This happens because earnings per share and book value per share are calculated by dividing the total earnings or book value by number of existing shares. The larger the number of shares, the lower the value of each share. Lower earnings per share may trigger a selloff in the stock, lowering its price. That's one reason a company may choose to issue bonds rather than new stock to raise additional capital. If two companies merge, or a company buys one or more other companies, earnings may be diluted if they don't increase proportionately with the total combined number of shares in the newly created company. Further, dilution can occur if outstanding warrants and stock options on an individual stock are exercised, and if convertible bonds and preferred stock the company has issued are converted to common stock. Companies must report the worst-case potential for such dilution, or loss of value, to their shareholders as diluted earnings per share.
