Thanks for the reply, all makes complete sense. I’m relatively new to investing so I imagine this is the first craze I’ve encountered. What have been previous sectors to blow up like this and then disappear?

What usually happens when a fund is wound up. This hasn’t happened to me yet. I assume my shares are converted to cash?
