SEC Division of Investment Management Issues No-Action Relief for IAs and Trusts Registered as Open-End Management Investment Companies

The SEC Division of Investment Management stated that it would not recommend action against either a registered investment adviser or a trust registered as an open-end management investment company that amended its investment advisory agreement to remove one of the two entities that acted as investment adviser to the investment company, provided that:

  1. the amendments would not reduce or modify the nature and level of advisory services provided by the continuing investment adviser to the funds, and
  2. there would be no increase in advisory fees under the amended agreement.
