A closed-end fund (CEF) is a pooled investment product that has a fixed number of shares. Unlike traditional open-end mutual funds that consistently issue and redeem shares, CEF liquidity is provided in the secondary market.

There are several unique aspects of CEFs:

• Fixed pool of assets – there are minimal cashflows in and out of the fund which allows the manager to invest in less liquid positions, take leverage and minimize cash drag
• Secondary market trading – since many CEFs are listed on an exchange they can trade throughout the day rather than once a day as in open-end funds
• Redemption may not be at NAV – purchases and redemptions are made on the secondary market, not directly with the asset manager, and they often trade at a discount or premium to net asset value
• Minimums – CEFs generally do not have a minimum to invest beyond the cost of one share

The fixed pool of capital with minimal cashflows may allow the manager to take positions that are not available in open-end products. This can offer investors exposure to strategies not otherwise available to the general public. For example, a manager may be able to increase exposure to derivatives, implement leverage, or purchase fewer liquid investments.
