More investment options for investors

If enacted, the bill would let closed-end investment companies invest some or all of their assets in securities issued by private funds. The Commission would not be able to prohibit or limit those investments or to impose conditions on the offer, sale, or listing of their securities, except for restrictions unrelated to a private fund's underlying characteristics and subject to other limits in this bill. National securities exchanges would not be able to block listing or trading of those securities unless their rules are consistent with the bill's limits. The bill would add legal definitions for "private fund" and "closed-end company," and it would confirm that fiduciary duties and valuation, liquidity, and redemption rules stay the same.
