Closed - End Mutual Funds !

Closed - End Mutual Funds ! Closed-End Mutual Fund Schemes have fixed number of units or shares offered by an investment company through an Intial Public Offering. These funds are traded on stock exchange just like individual stocks. These funds have a fixed maturity period. So, investors are not allowed to sell or redeem before maturity date.
