When a mutual fund falls into the close-ended category, the investor can only redeem their units on the maturity date, which is issued at the time of the original offer. Nonetheless, SEBI has given close-ended fund investors a way out via the stock exchange.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Interval Funds:<\/strong> Under this plan, mutual fund units may be bought and redeemed only during specific intervals designated by the asset management business.
