REIT Closed-End Investment Companies?

Can REITs be structured as a closed-end investment company? I’ve never heard of a REIT being structured as a closed-end investment company but I have heard of closed-end funds, business development corporations and registered hedge funds being registered as such. Any clarity on this issue would be much appreciated.

i think index funds are closed end. BOOM

Yes they are closed end. Index funds are typically ETFs or open ended funds.
