Allow asset-based distribution/service fees
The applicants requested authority to impose asset-based distribution and/or service fees on the listed closed-end funds. If the SEC grants relief, the funds could charge ongoing asset-based distribution or service fees that would be paid by investors as a percentage of assets.
