As a Funds Manager, you can create funds at any time, even when markets are closed. This flexibility allows you to set up your fund structure and strategy regardless of trading hours. However, there are important considerations to keep in mind, especially regarding how market closure affects your newly created fund's operations.
Key Points About Creating Funds During Market Closure
Always Available: You can create funds 24/7, regardless of whether the markets are open or closed
Order Processing: When you create a fund during market closure, the fund setup will be completed, but any trading activity will only execute once the market reopens
Initial Trading Activity: If you have open orders ready to execute, they will be processed when markets reopen, which could affect your fund's initial performance
Considerations When Creating Funds During Market Closure
When creating a fund while markets are closed:
Pending Orders: Any initial orders you set up will remain pending until markets reopen
Price Differences: The execution prices may differ from what you see when setting up your fund
Delayed Execution: The actual trading activity will only begin when markets reopen and all positions can be properly opened
Initial Valuation: Your fund's initial performance will be determined based on market prices when positions are actually opened
Investor Subscriptions: If investors subscribe to your fund during market closure, their investments will be activated when markets reopen
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
