However NIBL Sahabhagita fund being open ended in nature, will be different in its features. The company will not have a fixed maturity period. This is however not the first open ended mutual fund in Nepalese mutual fund history. Citizens Investment Trust has an open ended mutual fund whereas NCM mutual fund, the first mutual fund in Nepal, was also open-ended in nature. Thus, the new mutual fund by NIBL Ace capital will be added in the list of very few open ended mutual funds in Nepal.
