Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 1 mixed.
Permission to Charge Early Withdrawal Fees
The applicants asked the SEC for permission to impose early withdrawal charges on certain closed-end fund investors. If the SEC grants this relief, investors who redeem or withdraw from these funds before specified times could pay an extra fee when they exit their investment.
Asset-Based Distribution and Service Fees Allowed
The applicants seek SEC permission to impose asset-based distribution and/or service fees on certain closed-end funds. If approved, these funds could charge ongoing fees taken as a percentage of assets to pay for distribution or shareholder services, which would reduce investors' net returns over time.
Funds May Issue Multiple Share Classes
SEG Partners Long/Short Equity Fund and Select Equity Group, L.P. asked the SEC for permission to let certain closed-end funds issue multiple classes of shares. If approved, these funds could offer different share types to investors, which could change how fees and rights are structured for different investors in those funds.
