Mutual funds are collective investment tools that accumulate a capital from the public and the appointed professional asset manager invests in financial assets in compliance with the relevant rules.
Unlike closed-end funds, open-ended ones have no predetermined life and their units are not tradable on the stock exchanges. Instead, investors buy the fund units from the office of the asset manager or the authorised distributors.
Investors can surrender open-ended fund units to the asset manager at the present net asset value.
