There are clearly reasons why the units trade at a discount to NAV; there is the illiquidity of the units, small size of the market float and thus lack of institutional interest, as well as the opacity of the holding company's structure.

They usually begin as small, white opacities.

In fact, most dogs with cataracts do not need surgery, because most lens opacities in dogs (and a lens opacity is a cataract, no matter how tiny or big) are small and don't significantly interfere with vision.

These opacities may be small or may be severe due to the development of corneal edema (fluid in the cornea).

Paintings starting in 2012 build on small squares of primary colors, with the brightness and opacity of acrylic, but they gain in intensity from orange and a paler blue as well.

There are an ever increasing number of these «indirect effects», but the two most discussed are the aerosol / cloud opacity interaction (more aerosols provide more sites for water to condense in clouds, thus cloud droplets are smaller and clouds become more opaque), and the cloud lifetime effect (smaller droplets make it more difficult to make drops big enough to rain, and so clouds live longer).

Since the 155 W / m2 GHE is the GHE forcing based on the present climate (in the sense that removing all GH agents (only their LW opacity, keeping solar radiation properties constant) results in a forcing of -155 W / m2 at TOA for the present climate, and we know that without any GHE, in the isothermal blackbody surface approximation, the temperature will fall approximately 33 K without any non-Planck feedbacks), it can be compared to smaller climate forcings made in the context of the present climate (such as a doubling CO2.)

Additionally, bright pigments have smaller particles which also affects opacity.
