You can create investments in funds at any time, even when markets are closed. This flexibility allows you to plan your investment strategy regardless of trading hours. However, there are important considerations to keep in mind, especially when closing investments during market closure periods.
Key Points About Investing During Market Closure
Always Available: You can create fund investments 24/7, regardless of whether the markets are open or closed
Order Processing: When you invest during market closure, your investment will be processed, but any trading activity will only execute once the market reopens
Fund Manager Activity: Fund Managers may have open orders that will execute when markets reopen, which could affect your investment's initial performance
Considerations When Closing Investments During Market Closure
When requesting to close an investment while markets are closed:
Pending Orders: Any open orders in the fund will remain pending until markets reopen
Price Differences: The final closing value may differ from what you see when submitting your close request
Delayed Execution: The actual closing process will only complete when markets reopen and all positions can be properly closed
Final Settlement: Your investment's final value will be determined based on market prices when positions are actually closed
Different Trading Hours for Various Instruments
Different financial instruments have varying trading hours:
Forex: Generally available 24/5, closing on weekends
Commodities: Trading hours vary by specific commodity
Indices: Follow their respective exchange hours
Cryptocurrencies: Often available 24/7, but liquidity may vary
