Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Multiple Share Classes with Different Sales Loads
Private Debt & Income Fund and Brighton Jones LLC asked the SEC for permission to let closed-end funds issue multiple classes of shares that can have different sales loads (up-front sales charges). If approved, investors in those funds could pick among share classes with different upfront costs and features.
Permission to Charge Asset-Based Distribution/Service Fees
The applicants asked the SEC for permission to let the funds impose asset-based distribution and/or service fees (ongoing charges taken as a percentage of fund assets). If allowed, investors could pay these ongoing fees which reduce their net returns.
