Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. {'text': 'Listing of units on a stock exchange', 'label': 'C'}
1. Close-ended schemes accept money from the fund only during the NFO.
2. To let investors exit later, the units are compulsorily listed on a stock exchange.
3. Existing holders sell to other investors on the exchange, not to the scheme.
4. The exchange price often trades at a discount to NAV due to demand-supply.
