Which of the following is a defining feature of a close-ended mutual fund scheme compared with an open-ended scheme?

A close-ended scheme sells units only during the New Fund Offer and has a fixed tenure. Afterwards, investors exit by trading units on a stock exchange or through repurchase on specified dates, unlike open-ended schemes that offer continuous sale and redemption at NAV.

  1. AUnits are bought and sold at NAV on every business day directly from the fund
  2. BUnits are sold only during the New Fund Offer and thereafter are traded on a stock exchange or repurchased on specified datesCorrect
  3. CThe scheme has no fixed maturity and never lists
  4. DThe fund must always invest only in debt securities

Explanation

A close-ended scheme raises money during the NFO and has a fixed tenure. After that, investors exit through exchange trading or repurchase at maturity. Continuous purchase and sale at NAV is a feature of open-ended schemes, so option A is wrong.
