Explanation

SEBI regulations restrict investments in unlisted shares to limit liquidity and valuation risks. Close-ended schemes may invest up to 10% of their NAV in unlisted shares, while open-ended schemes face a stricter 5% limit. These different limits reflect the redemption pressure that open-ended funds face versus the locked-in capital of close-ended schemes.
