Abstract
While closed-end funds (CEFs) have a long history, relatively recent research in economics and finance has provided new insights about these funds. This essay explains the unique structure of CEFs and argues that absent a compelling reason, investors should generally avoid purchasing CEF shares in an initial public offering.
