Because in Europe SICAV refers to open ended funds, and they are sometimes traded on an exchange. How could they be traded, with variable capital?? Are open-ended funds traded on exchanges?

One of my favorite investments. Many investor do not even know they exist. I would never buy one unless it is trading at a discount. Good points on Closed end funds. One of my favorite investments.

There are plenty of CEFs on the exchanges. They can have any tickers that stocks have, so to determine the structure you will have to do some research and just find out by looking at the filed statements, or websites. @Matt – technically, the closed-end fund is a type of exchange traded fund, but whereas most ETFs are open-ended (in that units can be created and destroyed), Closed End Funds (CEFs) are generally considered to be different than the common meaning of ETF.

I mean how can a mutual fund trade in the market and under what type of symbols? Is the closed end fund converted to an ETF before starting to trade in stock exchange?

A "closed"-end mutual fund does not accept new money. If you want to purchase units of a closed end fund, you have to buy them from someone willing to sell it through an exchange. No new money is added to the fund for the manager to have to deploy.
