Funds Seek Permission to Co‑Invest Together

If you invest in the listed Franklin and Benefit Street funds or related affiliated investment entities, those applicants asked the SEC for an order to let certain business development companies (BDCs) and closed-end management investment companies co-invest in the same portfolio companies. The application was filed April 11, 2025 (amended April 24 and April 29, 2025), and the SEC will issue the order unless someone requests a hearing by 5:30 p.m. on May 27, 2025.
