West, ern, funds, da-dun da-dun dun-dun. (sorry couldn't help it)

The Japanese stock market closes at 6.30GMT, and you can place orders for funds (on hl.co.uk) at today's prices up to 08.00GMT. The funds seem to be revalued at 12.00GMT.

So does that mean within that hour and a half window you will be able to predict how Japanese funds will move before their prices are released and locked down? i.e. if all the shares in your Japan fund drop you could sell your allocation before those drops are reflected in your fund price.

I'm sure the answer must be no, but can someone explain why?
