How does the return get recognized?

Everyone who invests in the fund owns certificates issued by this fund. These certificates give everyone the same mix of investments in the same proportion. As the fund's value as a whole rises or falls, each person's certificate value will go up and down with it. Return is compounded daily and the fund returns are tax exempted.
