## Learn more about Open-End Funds

Open-End Funds embody a dynamic structure within the ETF landscape. These funds continuously issue and redeem shares based on investor demand, ensuring a fluid and responsive investment vehicle. The fund's share price closely aligns with its Net Asset Value, or NAV. This flexibility enables open-end ETFs to efficiently manage assets and respond to market trends. Investors benefit from the real-time alignment of the fund's market price with its intrinsic value, creating an investment vehicle that reflects the current market conditions with precision.
