FINRA Issues New Investor Alert: Closed-End Fund Distributions: Where Is The Money Coming From?

Date 28/10/2013

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) issued a new Investor Alert called Closed-End Fund Distributions: Where Is the Money Coming From? to explain what closed-end funds are, how they differ from traditional mutual funds, what a distribution rate is and what to ask before investing. Closed-end funds have become popular investments because some offer high distribution rates—as high as 6 percent or more. However, investors should be aware that a fund's distribution rate is not the same thing as its return—even if the numbers might look similar. Closed-end funds typically pay distributions to investors on a monthly or quarterly basis, and may increase or decrease the distribution rate from one distribution period to the next.
