Asked Price

Asked Price - The asked price is the lowest price that an investor or a dealer has stated that they will sell a certain security or commodity for. On over-the-counter stocks, a security not traded at a stock exchange as it cannot meet listing requirements, the ask is the best quoted price that the market maker is willing to sell the stocks for. On mutual funds, the asked price is the net asset value and any sales charges. This is also known as the asking price or offering price.
