Closed-Ended Funds
|
| ||
| Closed-ended funds, like their more populous and popular open-ended cousins, are investment companies set up to own securities portfolios. But unlike traditional funds, closed-ended funds trade on exchanges, and their prices aren’t directly linked to the underlying value of assets held in the fund. A closed-end fund sells a fixed number of shares at one time through an initial public offering (IPO), which occurs when a private company puts up its stock for purchase by the public for the first time. See what are IPOs for more information on public company offerings. |

Additional Comments:
Closed-ended funds can provide a unique opportunity for value investors.
Unlike open-ended funds, the market price of a closed-ended fund doesn’t necessarily match its net asset value. Because price doesn’t necessarily track value, and because closed-ended funds are less popular to the investing community, their prices tend to lag net asset value. That makes for possible bargains, and indeed, most closed-ended funds trade at a discount to their net asset value. |
