Abstract: Rule 17e-1 governs the receipt of compensation by a broker affiliated with a registered investment company in connection with securities transactions by the investment company. The rule requires the board of directors to establish and review procedures to ensure compliance with the rule, and imposes recordkeeping requirements concerning such procedures and transactions effected under the rule. The rule exempts certain transactions from some of the rule's procedural and recordkeeping requirements.
