I can't quite explain the discount discrepancies. For example NCV, NCZ are at a premium, while, VTA, HAV, HIH, HSA still have substantial discounts and some of the emerging market ones like EDD have big discounts. One possible explanation is reputation of the managers, although the actual performance of the funds last year did not have to do anything with the managers. PIMCO's funds, for example, had some of the most terrible performance. Yet right now they are the ones that sell at a premium.
