White Paper: Interval and Tender Offer Funds

Non-traditional closed-end interval and tender offer funds constitute an important segment of the investment industry. Closed-end funds’ regulatory and investment features straddle between private funds (e.g., private equity and hedge funds) and open-end funds (e.g., mutual funds and exchange-traded products). Their unique structure allows asset managers to deliver alternative and illiquid investment strategies to a broad investor base.

This white paper distills closed-end funds’ regulatory framework and operational considerations for existing and prospective closed-end fund asset managers. It will guide you through regulatory intricacies, offering comparisons between interval funds and tender offer funds along the way. It will also connect their structure with an examination of how closed-end funds should be approached from a distribution perspective.
