Open-End Fund

Summary

An open-end fund is a type of investment vehicle that allows for continuous investment and redemption of shares, enabling investors to buy and sell shares at any time based on the current net asset value (NAV).

Detailed Description

Open-end funds are mutual funds that do not have a fixed number of shares and can issue new shares or redeem existing shares at any time. The price of the shares is determined by the net asset value (NAV), which is calculated at the end of each trading day. Investors can buy shares directly from the fund and redeem them back to the fund. Unlike closed-end funds, open-end funds do not trade on exchanges but are instead bought and sold directly through the fund management.
