Which feature distinguishes an open-ended mutual fund scheme from a closed-ended scheme?

An open-ended mutual fund scheme allows investors to buy and redeem units on an ongoing basis at prices linked to NAV. Closed-ended schemes have a fixed maturity and are bought mainly during the NFO, with exit through listing or maturity.

  1. AUnits can be bought and redeemed on an ongoing basis at NAV-related pricesCorrect
  2. BUnits are issued only once during the new fund offer
  3. CUnits can be redeemed only on maturity of the scheme
  4. DUnits are always listed and cannot be redeemed from the fund

Explanation

An open-ended scheme offers units for sale and repurchase continuously at NAV-linked prices, so it has no fixed maturity. Closed-ended schemes have a fixed tenure and redemption happens at maturity, with exit usually through exchange listing.
