B. Must be purchased in periodic intervals

D. Legally classified as a closed-end fund - CORRECT ANSWER D. Legally classified
as a closed-end fund
Interval funds are a type of investment company that offers higher yields but
permits shareholders to sell their shares only at specific time periods or
"intervals." Legally classified as a closed-end fund, interval funds share
characteristics with mutual funds such as the fact that there is no trading or
secondary market for interval funds; instead shares must be purchased and sold
(redeemed) with the fund. An investment in an interval fund is much less liquid
than shares in other types of investment companies, such as mutual funds,
closed-end funds, and ETFs.
