Are ETFs Closed-Ended Funds?

No, ETFs are not closed-ended funds.

ETFs are open-ended funds, meaning they can constantly take on new investors, and as they do, the fund's assets grow. They offer flexibility in trading and the ability to issue and redeem shares continuously. This contrasts with closed-ended funds, which have a fixed number of shares and can trade at prices differing from their NAV.
