four significant figures
For this purpose the "Share Price" means the latest price of a share of the relevant Class in the relevant sub-fund (calculated at the most recent valuation point) or, in respect of the first issue of shares in a sub-fund, the initial price for such a share, in either case net of any initial charge, dilution adjustment and/or SDRT provision, and ***calculated to not less than four significant figures***.
Sind das "vier massgebende Dezimalstellen"? Oder was bedeuten diese "four significant figures"?
Vielen Dank für Eure Unterstützung!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

maßgebliche Ziffern
The significant figures of a number are those digits that carry meaning contributing to its precision.

Naja, Du kannst es auch solange drehen, bis es 5,000 gibt. Dann hast Du wieder 4 maßgebliche Ziffern, oder?

Die vier Ziffern sind ganz bestimmt nicht nur Dezimalziffern, sondern auch die vor dem Komma. Nullen nach dem Komma sind natürlich nicht maßgebend, aber wenn man 5,000 statt 5,0 angibt, weiß man eben, dass die Zahl auf vier Nachkommastellen berechnet und nicht gerundet wurde.
| Ok, danke. Das gilt wohl für Ziffern einer Zahl. Wenn aber der Quotient jetzt 5,0 wäre, dann hätte ich ja nur 2 Ziffern, egal wie ich es drehe oder wende. |
| Weiß nicht, mir kommt das komisch vor. Nullen hinter dem Komma sind nicht "significant", wenn dahinter keine andere Ziffer kommt. Ich vermute, dass es die Kommastellen sind, aber wenn ich es wüsste, würde ich die Frage nicht stellen. |
