Letter Type A:

I am an individual investor, elderly, and purchase Closed
End Funds, as part of a diversification strategy. I purchase Cefs in
large part to benefit from the closing of the discount, often prompted
by the election of non insider candidates. It is a shame that Cef
boards allow the discounts to persist instead of seeking the best
results for shareholders, as is their fiduciary duty.

The proposed rule is just a means for lazy board members to wallow and collect fees
for doing little to the detriment of shareholders, for whom they owe a
duty of diligence. Shareholders have a right to hold board members
accountable. Boards will only become further entrenched if the
proposed rule is adopted. Board members do your jobs and then you
won’t have to worry about elections!
