## Abstract

The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") is adopting amendments to rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to expand the current exemptions for investment companies ("funds") to engage in transactions with "portfolio affiliates"--companies that are affiliated with the fund solely as a result of the fund (or an affiliated fund) controlling them or owning more than five percent of their voting securities. The Commission is also adopting one new rule and several rule amendments to permit funds to engage in transactions with subadvisers of affiliated funds. The rules are designed to permit transactions between funds and certain affiliated persons under circumstances where it is unlikely that the affiliate would be in a position to take advantage of the fund.
