Series 7 Exam Prep 39, ETFs, Closed-End Funds, and UITs
About this episode
This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. 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.
