Key Terms

closed-end investment company, net asset value, unrealized gain

3 terms

closed-end investment company financial

"AllianceBernstein Global High Income Fund, Inc. (NYSE: AWF), a registered closed‑end investment company, today annou"

A closed-end investment company is a pooled investment fund that issues a fixed number of shares in a one-time offering and then has those shares bought and sold on an exchange like a stock; a professional manager runs the portfolio of assets. It matters to investors because the market price can move above or below the value of the underlying holdings, affecting returns and income, and shares may be less flexible to issue or redeem compared with open-ended funds—think of buying a slice of a privately baked pie whose market price can differ from the pie’s actual ingredients value.

net asset value financial

"On September 30, 2025, the net asset value per share was $11.52 based on 86,229,677 shares"

Net asset value is the total value of an investment fund's assets minus any liabilities, divided by the number of shares or units outstanding. It represents the per-share worth of the fund, similar to how the value of a house is determined by its total worth after debts are subtracted. Investors use it to gauge the true value of their holdings and to compare different investment options.

unrealized gain financial

"The total net realized and unrealized gain was 9,886,429 or $0.11 per share for the same period."

An unrealized gain is the increase in value of an investment that you still hold and have not sold, so the profit exists on paper but hasn’t been converted into cash. Like a balloon that has inflated but hasn’t been popped, it raises your reported net worth and signals how well an investment is performing, yet it can fall before you sell; investors watch unrealized gains to decide when to lock in profits, manage risk, and plan for taxes.
