Investment Fund

Welcome to our lesson on closed-end funds. These investment vehicles allow investors to purchase a security that represents a portfolio with a specific investment strategy. They are created through a public offering and actively managed to generate income for investors. This income can come from a variety of sources such as dividends, capital gains, interest payments, and derivative investment strategies.
