A closed-ended NFO sells units during the offer and then holds the money until the scheme ends. The main difference is how easy it is for an investor to get out what price they get when they leave and if they can keep adding money over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ended NFOs and closed-ended NFOs are different in how the units are priced after the launch. An ended scheme sells and buys back units at the net asset value (NAV). A closed-ended scheme lists on a stock exchange. The price there can be higher or lower than the NAV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_differences_at_a_glance\"><\/span><strong>Key differences at a glance<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Feature<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Open-ended NFO<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Closed-ended NFO<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Offer period<\/td><td>for a short time up to 15 days maximum<\/td><td>Open for a short time up to 15 days maximum<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Buying after the NFO<\/td><td>Possible at the NAV once the scheme reopens within five business days of receiving the units<\/td><td>Not possible from the fund since units are only sold during the NFO<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Exiting<\/td><td>Redemption at the NAV less any exit load<\/td><td>Selling on the stock exchange where the units are listed or waiting until the end<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tenure<\/td><td>No set end date<\/td><td>Set time period listed in the scheme details<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Price after launch<\/td><td>NAV calculated each business day<\/td><td>Market price on the exchange which can be different from the NAV<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Systematic investment plan (SIP)<\/td><td>Available after the scheme reopens<\/td><td>Not available<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Liquidity<\/td><td>High, based on redemptions at NAV<\/td><td>Depends on how many people trade the units on the exchange<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_each_type\"><\/span><strong>Benefits of each type<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Type<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Benefits<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Open-ended<\/td><td>Units can be sold at NAV after the scheme reopens.

Closed-ended schemes give up that flexibility for a set time and a way to sell on the exchange. The choice depends on how the money can stay invested and if more money will be added later. The scheme details should be checked carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kuvera provides mutual funds.

What is the main difference between ended and closed-ended NFOs?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An ended scheme allows buying and selling after the NFO. A closed-ended scheme only sells units during the NFO. Lists them on an exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Can a SIP be started in a closed-ended fund?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. Closed-ended schemes only sell units during the NFO. There are no purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. How can units of a closed-ended fund be sold?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the stock exchange where they are listed. The price can be different from the NAV.. Wait until the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. How long does an NFO stay open?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Up to 15 days. A longer time is allowed for some equity linked savings schemes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Which is safer ended or closed-ended?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Neither is safer by structure. The risk depends on what the scheme invests in. The structure decides the way to exit. Ended schemes can be sold at NAV. Closed-ended schemes depend on the exchange.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An ended new fund offer (NFO) starts a scheme that stays open for buying and selling after the offer period ends.
