Key Terms
closed-end fundfinancial
A closed-end fund is a pool of money collected from many investors to buy a diversified mix of stocks, bonds, or other assets, and it is managed by professionals. Unlike some investment options, its shares are bought and sold on stock exchanges at prices determined by supply and demand, which can be above or below the fund's actual value. This structure allows investors to buy or sell shares easily, but the value may fluctuate based on market conditions.
net investment incomefinancial
Net investment income is the money an investor or fund actually keeps from its investments after subtracting the costs of running those investments (like management fees, interest, and losses). Think of it as your paycheck from owning assets: gross returns minus the bills needed to earn them. Investors watch it because it shows how profitable the investment activities are, influences dividend payouts and cash available for growth, and helps compare true performance across funds or companies.
record datefinancial
The record date is the specific day when a company determines which shareholders are eligible to receive a dividend or participate in an upcoming vote. It’s like a cutoff date; if you own the stock on that day, you get the benefits or voting rights. This date matters because it decides who qualifies for certain company benefits.
payable datefinancial
The payable date is the calendar day when a company actually transfers a scheduled cash payment—such as a dividend or interest—to eligible holders. Think of it as the company’s “payday” for investors: it matters because this is when you receive the money and when taxable income is realized, so investors track it to time cash flow, portfolio income, and tax reporting.
return of capitalfinancial
Return of capital is when an investor receives money from their investment that is not considered profit or earnings but rather a portion of the original amount they invested. It’s similar to getting back part of your initial savings rather than gains from it. This matters because it can affect how much money an investor still has in the investment and may have tax implications.
