woori easy one! Do not miss!
cong closed-end shares need to be resold or repurchased in secondary markets (such as NASDAQ)
johntan1979 "always" in II is confusing and redundant... should be omitted.
Bududeen The always is important because at first instance, the investor has to get the shares from the funds... just like in the primary market and then trade among themselves in the secondary mkt.
Shaan23 Easy one. I got it wrong. Did not choose II. Tricky at first glance

I was very pleased with your notes and question bank. I especially like the mock exams because it helped to pull everything together.
