What is the difference between an open-end mutual fund and a closed-end investment company?

A. What makes an open-end mutual fund different from a closed-end fund is that an open-end mutual fund is continually issuing new shares. When an investor invests in an open-end mutual fund, shares are issued to the investor.

When investors choose to sell their shares of an open-end fund, their shares are redeemed (i.e. , "bought back") by the fund; they are not sold or traded on an exchange. Redemptions are at the fund's current NAV, which may result in a gain or loss.

Closed-end funds, however, issue a limited number of shares and subsequently they are bought and sold ("traded") on an exchange.

In addition, an open-end fund can decide to "close" a fund to new investors should management feel that the fund is becoming too large.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
