There are also different dimensions of quotes:

for shares, ...:
by time:  open, last, close,
by range: min, max,
by direction: ask, bid,
all determinated by the market.

for mutual funds:
net asset value (nav): is calculated by the fund company after markets
closed and used the next day as payment for returned parts. If you buy
parts, you pay an agio.
