What to Check

Check whether the fund is open-end, closed-end, offshore, money market, no-load, or exchange-traded, then compare redemption rules, NAV pricing, market price, fees, and liquidity.

Common Mistakes

  • Confusing open-end fund NAV redemption with closed-end fund market-price trading.
  • Ignoring loads, expense ratios, distribution policy, and tax treatment.
  • Treating money market funds as identical to bank deposits.
  • Comparing mutual funds and ETFs without checking trading and tax mechanics.
