An investor wants a scheme that allows investment only in a fixed number of units at launch and trades on a stock exchange, with no continuous sale and repurchase by the fund. Which type of scheme is this?

This describes a closed-ended scheme listed on a stock exchange. Units are issued only during the New Fund Offer, and investors exit by selling on the exchange rather than redeeming with the fund. Open-ended schemes offer continuous transactions, while an SIP is merely a way of investing.

  3. CInterval scheme with no listing
  4. DSystematic investment plan

Explanation

A closed-ended scheme has a fixed maturity and units are sold during the New Fund Offer only; liquidity is provided by listing on a stock exchange, where units are traded. An open-ended scheme offers continuous purchase and redemption with the fund, and an SIP is an investment method, not a scheme type.
