Closed period is a period that open-end funds must go through, which can provide a relatively stable opening process for funds. The closure period of each fund varies with the type of fund. The so-called fund closure period refers to the time when the fund manager cannot accept the subscription, redemption and other businesses within the time limit stipulated in the fund contract and prospectus at the initial stage of the establishment of an open-end fund.
On the one hand, the closure period is set to facilitate the fund's backstage registration center and make the best preparation for future subscription and redemption; On the other hand, the fund manager can complete the preliminary investment arrangement according to the situation of the securities market. Because the investment income is related to the scale of funds, and the stability of the scale of funds is an important prerequisite for fund managers to control their positions.
The process from raising funds to investing in open-end funds needs to go through four periods, namely, raising period, capital verification period, closing period and normal subscription and redemption period. During these four periods, investors bought and sold fund shares in different ways.
