Money Market Funds • Hedge Funds • REITs![]() Investment companies, in the form of mutual funds, closed-end funds, and unit investment trusts, are popular investment vehicles that offer a variety of features and benefits. Mutual funds, also known as open-end investment companies, can be structured as stock funds, bond funds, or money market funds. Most mutual funds offer new shares to the public on a continuous basis; they are required to redeem outstanding shares at any time upon request, at a price based on the current value of the fund's net assets. Closed-end funds are investment companies that issue a fixed number of shares. These shares are traded on a stock exchange. Unit investment trusts are investment companies that buy and hold a portfolio of stocks, bonds, or other securities. Real estate investment trusts (REITs) are special purpose investment companies that own, finance, and/or operate, income-producing real estate.
