A. B. C. D.

The only way to invest in a typical closed-end investment company after its initial public offering is to purchase its shares on the secondary market. Many such companies trade their shares on the NYSE. Over the long-run, shares of closed-end investment companies tend to trade at a 5 to 20% discount to their net asset value (NAV).
