About New fund offers:
- A new fund offer (NFO) refers to the initial sale of fund shares issued by an investment company to investors.
- Similar to an IPO in the stock market, NFOs are intended to raise capital for the fund and attract investors.
- Mutual funds are the most common type of new fund offering.
Types of New Fund Offers
- Open-End Fund: These funds do not limit their number of shares. These funds can be bought and sold from a brokerage firm on their initial launch date and thereafter. The shares do not trade on an exchange and are managed by the fund company.
- Closed-End Fund: Closed-end new fund offers are often some of the most highly marketed new fund issuances since closed-end funds only issue a specified number of shares during their new fund offer. Closed-end funds trade on an exchange with daily price quotes throughout the day.
Q1) What is a mutual fund?
