Why do close-ended mutual fund units often trade at a discount to NAV on stock exchanges?

0% of students got this wrong

EXPLANATION

Close-ended fund units often trade at a discount to NAV on stock exchanges because there is limited secondary market liquidity and buyer interest. Sellers wanting to exit before maturity must accept prices below NAV to attract buyers. This discount widens when investor sentiment is negative or the scheme is performing poorly.
