Close ended mutual funds are one of the three types of mutual funds categorised by scheme structure. The units of a closed end fund can be purchased only during a New Fund Offer and, subsequently, through the stock exchange where the fund is listed. A close ended mutual fund has a fixed lock-in period during which the fund's units can only be redeemed via a sale in the market or a buy back from the issuing fund house.
In the twenty-first century, mutual funds are counted amongst the most popular market-linked investment vehicles. You can start your mutual fund investment with a small amount and choose from a variety of funds available in the securities market. When categorised by scheme structure, there are three types of mutual funds, one of which is close ended mutual funds.
In this article, we shall delve into
A close ended mutual fund is a type of mutual fund which has a limited access for subscription and redemption. The units of close ended mutual funds are offered to the public through a New Fund Offer (NFO) and once the units have been allotted to the applicants, there is no further issuance of the fund's units.
After the allotment of fund units through an NFO, a closed end fund gets listed on a stock exchange, and its units can be purchased and sold in the open market just like any other security. The market price of the fund's units gets determined by the forces of demand and supply, and can be either above or below the actual Net Asset Value (NAV) of the fund.
A striking feature of close ended mutual funds is that their units can be redeemed through the issuing fund house only at the expiration of the fund's tenure. However, the fund house can offer the subscribers a buy back option on a periodic basis. The open trading of the fund's units on a stock exchange is, therefore, the easiest and most convenient mode of premature withdrawal for investors.
Akin to any type of mutual fund, close ended mutual funds are managed by dedicated fund managers. Such a fund can invest in a variety of asset classes, including equity and debt. Since there is no requirement to keep a certain proportion of the fund's corpus liquid for redemption requests, the fund manager of a closed end fund is well placed to invest the funds as per the investment objective decided for the fund.
Close ended mutual funds carry a host of benefits, prominent amongst those being:
