Dear Ms. Riegel and Mr. Rakestraw,
On March 21, 2018, an application was submitted on behalf of the Applicants (the “Application”) seeking an order pursuant to Sections 6(c) and 17(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), for an exemption from Section 17(a) thereof, and pursuant to Section 17(d) of the Act and Rule 17d-1 thereunder.
