§80a–64 Preventing Compliance with Subchapter; Liability of Controlling Persons
Title 15 › Chapter 2D— INVESTMENT COMPANIES AND ADVISERS › Subchapter I— INVESTMENT COMPANIES › § 80a–64
Summary
A business development company must follow the same rules that apply to registered closed-end investment companies, even if another rule might say it is exempt. But nothing in that rule can be read to force a company that is not an investment company to obey those requirements just because it is wholly owned by, or controlled by, a business development company.
