One case is closed-end funds and another is where divisions of firms are spun-off. A closed-end fund is an investment company that holds stock in other companies but does not offer continuously to redeem its shares at net-asset prices unlike a mutual fund . The prices of closed-end funds are set in the competitive markets in which they trade as are the prices of the stocks of the companies they hold. Usually closed-end funds sell at a substantial discount to their net asset values 48 a fact Brickley and Schallheim call an interesting anomaly. 49 A graph of the discounts from 1933 to 1982 shows only two periods with negative discounts.50 Similar puzzling discounts were found for dual-purpose funds.51 Richards et al. found closed-end bond fund discounts of 12.3 December 1979 .52 Malkiel proposed several possible explanations for these discounts but decides that none are adequate and eventually concluded the market was inefficient here.53 Thompson showed that profitable trading strategies existed.54 The closed-end fund discount is contrary to the value additivity theory but is predicted by the divergence of opinion theory.
