Closed-end funds are like mutual funds, except that they have a fixed number of shares and are traded on a stock exchange. They are traded all day during regular market hours and the price changes continuously throughout a trading session. Closed-end funds may trade at a premium or discount to the net asset value of the underlying portfolio. There are likely many reasons for this, but there is currently no complete explanation for the phenomenon. Funds that continually trade at a discount to NAV are occasionally liquidated and the money returned to shareholders. This gives shareholders an immediate gain equal to the amount of the discount. CLOSED-END FUNDS
