A registered investment company is a pooled investment vehicle—such as a mutual fund or closed-end fund—that is officially registered with financial regulators and required to follow rules about disclosure, how it invests, and what fees it charges. Think of it as a shared basket of stocks or bonds managed for many investors; registration means regular reporting and oversight that help investors compare costs, understand risks, and know how easy it is to buy or sell their shares.
