The difference between open-end fund and closed-end fund

2. The transaction prices of fund units are different. The buying and selling price of the fund unit of the open-end fund is based on the net asset value corresponding to the fund unit, and there will be no discount. The price of closed-end fund shares will be more affected by the relationship between market supply and demand, and the price fluctuates greatly.
3. The trading channels of fund units are different. Investors of open-end funds can buy or redeem funds directly from fund management companies at any time, and the handling fee is low. The trading of closed-end funds is similar to stock trading, which can be traded in the securities market and requires the payment of handling fees and securities transaction tax. Generally speaking, the cost is higher than that of open-end funds.
4. Different investment strategies. Open-end funds must reserve a part of their funds to cope with investors' redemption at any time, and long-term investment will be restricted. However, closed-end funds cannot be redeemed, so they can make full use of funds, make long-term investments and achieve long-term business performance.
5. The required market conditions are different. Open-end funds are flexible, easy to scale, and suitable for financial markets with high openness and large scale. On the contrary, closed-end funds are suitable for financial markets with imperfect financial system, low openness and small scale.
