How Closed-ended fund works
Units may be listed for exchange trading, but market liquidity and traded price can differ from the scheme's NAV. Maturity, listing and repurchase terms belong to the specific offer document and should not be inferred from the category name.
A rupee example
A unit with an NAV of ₹12 may trade at ₹11 if exchange buyers are unwilling to pay the full underlying value, creating a ₹1 market discount.
The example isolates one idea so the arithmetic is visible. Real outcomes can include taxes, fees, cash-flow timing and market movement that the simplified example does not model.
Why it matters for your family
A fixed maturity can conflict with an uncertain family deadline. Check whether a real buyer exists, what price discovery looks like and whether the stated maturity matches the goal.
