Introduction to Closed-End Investment Funds
Closed-end investment funds (CEFs) are unique mutual funds that are traded on an exchange, unlike traditional open-ended funds that are managed through the mutual fund investment company. CEFs differ from open-ended funds as they can be bought or sold during market hours, and they have the flexibility to invest in various sectors, industries, or bond groups, making them versatile investment vehicles.
