He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - That ETFs and Closed-End Funds trade intraday on exchanges, unlike mutual funds which price once daily at NAV. - Why an ETF's price stays close to its NAV due to the creation and redemption process by authorized participants. - How Closed-End Funds have a fixed number of shares, causing their market price to be driven purely by supply and demand. - The two defining, testable features of a Unit Investment Trust (UIT): a fixed, unmanaged portfolio and a specific termination date. - That UITs are redeemable securities, priced at NAV with the issuer, and do not trade on the secondary market.
