Wait, are you sure about that? I thought some mutual funds could be passive too.

I feel like closed-end investment companies can be actively managed too, so that rules out D. Maybe it's definitely B?

I recall a practice question about investment companies, and I think face-amount certificate companies are also not passively managed.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember that mutual funds can be actively managed, so I don't think it's C.

I think the answer might be B) a unit investment trust because they typically have a fixed portfolio and don’t actively trade.
