Close-ended fund

What is Close-ended fund in an Indian AIF?

A close-ended fund has a fixed tenure stated at launch, and investors cannot redeem before it ends, though the tenure may be extended with investor consent. Category I and Category II AIFs must be close-ended. The structure suits illiquid assets that need years to realise.
