[Series 65] 30, Closed-End Funds and UITs
from Open Exam Prep
This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - Closed-end funds issue a fixed number of shares in an IPO and then trade on the secondary market like a stock. - A closed-end fund's market price is driven by supply and demand, often causing it to trade at a premium or discount to its Net Asset Value (NAV). - Unit Investment Trusts (UITs) feature a fixed, unmanaged portfolio of securities and have a predetermined termination date. - Unlike closed-end funds, UIT units are not traded on an exchange; instead, they are redeemable with the trust sponsor. - A key exam distinction is that closed-end funds are actively managed, whereas UITs have a static, supervised portfolio.
