Abstract
This paper discusses the close-end fund puzzle and proposes a modification of the overlapping generations model of an asset market in which noise trading or, investor sentiment , is a sourse of risk. We suggest to study the close-end fund puzzle under the condition that financial returns have stable non-Gaussian distribution assumption as compared with the normal one.
