Definition of 'Open-ended Funds'
Definition: These funds buy and sell units on a continuous basis and, hence,
allow investors to enter and exit as per their convenience. The units can be
purchased and sold even after the initial offering (NFO) period (in case of new
funds). The units are bought and sold at the net asset value (NAV) declared by
the fund.
Description: The number of outstanding units goes up or down every time the fund house sells or repurchases the existing units. This is the reason that the unit capital of an open-ended mutual fund keeps varying. The fund expands in size when the fund house sells more units than it repurchases as more money is flowing in.
On the other hand, the fund's size reduces when the fund house repurchases more units than it sells. An open-ended fund is not obliged to keep selling new units all the time. For instance, if the management thinks that it cannot manage a large-sized fund optimally, it can stop accepting new subscription requests from investors. However, it has to repurchase the units at all times.

Definition of 'Registrar And Transfer Agents'
Definition: Registrar or transfer agents are the trusts or
institutions that register and maintain detailed records of the transactions of
investors for the convenience of mutual fund houses.
Description: Investors' transactions like buying, exchanges, processing of mails and related information, changes in personal data, etc occur frequently and have to be recorded. Registrar & transfer agents have skilled expertise for maintenance of such data on a professional basis, thereby contributing to saving costs and time involved in keeping detailed accurate records of the investor transactions.
