(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the
‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget a
request for extension of the previously
approved collection of information
discussed below.
An investment company (‘‘fund’’) is
generally limited in the amount of
securities the fund (‘‘acquiring fund’’)
can acquire from another fund
(‘‘acquired fund’’). Section 12(d) of the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
‘‘Investment Company Act’’ or ‘‘Act’’) 1
provides that a registered fund (and
companies it controls) cannot:
• acquire more than three percent of
another fund’s securities;
• invest more than five percent of its
own assets in another fund; or
• invest more than ten percent of its
own assets in other funds in the
aggregate.2
In addition, a registered open-end
fund, its principal underwriter, and any
registered broker or dealer cannot sell
that fund’s shares to another fund if, as
a result:
• the acquiring fund (and any
companies it controls) owns more than
three percent of the acquired fund’s
stock; or
• all acquiring funds (and companies
they control) in the aggregate own more
than ten percent of the acquired fund’s
stock.3
Rule 12d1–1 under the Act provides
an exemption from these limitations for
‘‘cash sweep’’ arrangements in which a
fund invests all or a portion of its
available cash in a money market fund
rather than directly in short-term
instruments.4 An acquiring fund relying
on the exemption may not pay a sales
load, distribution fee, or service fee on
acquired fund shares, or if it does, the
acquiring fund’s investment adviser
must waive a sufficient amount of its
advisory fee to offset the cost of the
loads or distribution fees.5 The acquired
fund may be a fund in the same fund
complex or in a different fund complex.
In addition to providing an exemption
from section 12(d)(1) of the Act, the rule
provides exemptions from section 17(a)
of the Act and rule 17d–1 thereunder,
which restrict a fund’s ability to enter
into transactions and joint arrangements
with affiliated persons.6 These
15 U.S.C. 80a.
15 U.S.C. 80a–12(d)(1)(A). If an acquiring
fund is not registered, these limitations apply only
with respect to the acquiring fund’s acquisition of
registered funds.
3 See 15 U.S.C. 80a–12(d)(1)(B).
4 See 17 CFR 270.12d1–1.
5 See rule 12d1–1(b)(1).
6 See 15 U.S.C. 80a–17(a), 15 U.S.C. 80a–17(d); 17
CFR 270.17d–1.

provisions would otherwise prohibit an
acquiring fund from investing in a
money market fund in the same fund
complex,7 and prohibit a fund that
acquires five percent or more of the
securities of a money market fund in
another fund complex from making any
additional investments in the money
market fund.8
The rule also permits a registered
fund to rely on the exemption to invest
in an unregistered money market fund
that limits its investments to those in
which a registered money market fund
may invest under rule 2a–7 under the
Act, and undertakes to comply with all
the other provisions of rule 2a–7.9 In
addition, the acquiring fund must
reasonably believe that the unregistered
money market fund (i) operates in
compliance with rule 2a–7, (ii) complies
with sections 17(a), (d), (e), 18, and
22(e) of the Act 10 as if it were a
registered open-end fund, (iii) has
adopted procedures designed to ensure
that it complies with these statutory
provisions, (iv) maintains the records
required by rules 31a–1(b)(1), 31a–
1(b)(2)(ii), 31a–1(b)(2)(iv), and 31a–
1(b)(9); 11 and (v) preserves
permanently, the first two years in an
easily accessible place, all books and
records required to be made under these
rules.
Rule 2a–7 contains certain collection
of information requirements. An
unregistered money market fund that
complies with rule 2a–7 would be
subject to these collection of
information requirements. In addition,
the recordkeeping requirements under
rule 31a–1 with which the acquiring
7 An affiliated person of a fund includes any
person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled
by, or under common control with such other
person; see 15 U.S.C. 80a–2(a)(3) (definition of
‘‘affiliated person’’); most funds today are organized
by an investment adviser that advises or provides
administrative services to other funds in the same
complex; funds in a fund complex are generally
under common control of an investment adviser or
other person exercising a controlling influence over
the management or policies of the funds; see 15
U.S.C. 80a–2(a)(9) (definition of ‘‘control’’); not all
advisers control funds they advise; the
determination of whether a fund is under the
control of its adviser, officers, or directors depends
on all the relevant facts and circumstances; see
Investment Company Mergers, Investment
Company Act Release No. 25259 (Nov. 8, 2001) [66
FR 57602 (Nov. 15, 2001)], at n.11; to the extent that
an acquiring fund in a fund complex is under
common control with a money market fund in the
same complex, the funds would rely on the rule’s
exemptions from section 17(a) and rule 17d–1.

fund reasonably believes the
unregistered money market fund
complies are collections of information
for the unregistered money market fund.
The adoption of procedures by
unregistered money market funds to
ensure that they comply with sections
17(a), (d), (e), 18, and 22(e) of the Act
also constitute collections of
information. By allowing funds to invest
in registered and unregistered money
market funds, rule 12d1–1 is intended
to provide funds greater options for cash
management. In order for a registered
fund to rely on the exemption to invest
in an unregistered money market fund,
the unregistered money market fund
must comply with certain collection of
information requirements for registered

money market funds. These
requirements are intended to ensure that
the unregistered money market fund has
established procedures for collecting the
information necessary to make adequate
credit reviews of securities in its
portfolio, as well as other recordkeeping
requirements that will assist the
acquiring fund in overseeing the
unregistered money market fund (and
Commission staff in its examination of
the unregistered money market fund’s
adviser).
The number of unregistered money
market funds that are affected by rule
12d1–1 is an estimate based on the
number of private liquidity funds
reported on Form PF as of the third
calendar quarter 2023.12 We use the

estimated burdens for registered money
market funds to extrapolate the
information collection burdens for
unregistered money market funds under
rule 12d1–1.13 The estimated average
burden hours in this collection of
information are made solely for
purposes of the Paperwork Reduction
Act and are not derived from a
quantitative, comprehensive or even
representative survey or study of the
burdens associated with Commission
rules and forms. Based on the estimated
burden of information collection for rule
2a–7 and Form PF filings, the estimated
burden of information collection for rule
12d1–1 is set forth in Table 2 below.

Commission staff currently uses a cost of $5672 per

we assumed there would be same proportion of

in the table above, unregistered money
market funds also will incur external
costs to preserve records, as required
under rule 2a–7. These costs will vary
significantly for individual funds,
depending on the amount of assets
under fund management and whether
the fund preserves its records in a
storage facility in hard copy or has
developed and maintains a computer
system to create and preserve
compliance records. In the 2022 rule
2a–7 PRA extension, Commission staff
estimated that the amount an individual
money market fund may spend ranges
from $100 per year to $300,000. We
have no reason to believe the range is
different for unregistered money market
funds. Based on Form PF data as of the
third calendar quarter 2023, liquidity
funds have $361 billion in gross asset
value.26 The Commission does not have
specific information about the
proportion of assets held in small,
medium-sized, or large unregistered
money market funds. Because liquidity
funds are often used as cash
management vehicles, the staff estimates
that each private liquidity fund is a
‘‘large’’ fund (i.e., more than $1 billion
in assets under management). Based on
a cost of $0.0000009 per dollar of assets
under management (for large funds),27
the staff estimates compliance with the
record storage requirements of rule 2a–
7 for these unregistered money market
funds costs approximately $324,900
annually.28
Consistent with estimates made in the
rule 2a–7 submission, Commission staff
estimates that unregistered money
market funds also incur capital costs to
create computer programs for
maintaining and preserving compliance
records for rule 2a–7 of $0.0000132 per
dollar of assets under management.
Based on the assets under management
figures described above, staff estimates
annual capital costs for all unregistered
money market funds of $4.76 million.29
Commission staff further estimates
that, even absent the requirements of
rule 2a–7, money market funds would
spend at least half of the amounts
26 See U.S Securities and Exchange Commission,
Division of Investment Management, Analytics
Office, Private Fund Statistics, Fourth Quarter 2019
(Oct. 2, 2020), Table 3.
27 The recordkeeping cost estimates are
$0.0051295 per dollar of assets under management
for small funds, and $0.0005041 per dollar of assets
under management for medium-sized funds; the
cost estimates are the same as those used in the
most recently approved rule 2a–7 submission.
28 This estimate is based on the following
calculation: ($294 billion × $0.0000009) = $264,600
for large funds.
29 This estimate is based on the following
calculation: ($294 billion × 0.0000132) = $3.88
million.

described above for record preservation
($162,450) and for capital costs ($2.38
million). Commission staff concludes
that the aggregate annual costs of
compliance with the rule are $162,450
for record preservation and $2.38
million for capital costs, or a total of
$2.54 million.
