Abstract: Rule 23c-2 under the Investment Company Act allows a closed-end fund to call or redeem securities it has issued but requires notice to be provided to the Commission prior to engaging in such call or redemption. The rule ensures that the call and redemption of securities issued by closed-end funds is conducted in a fair manner and that certain material information regarding such activity is made available to shareholders and other interested parties. The information required to be filed with the Commission assures the public availability of the information and is designed to enable the Commission to monitor funds’ compliance with the notification requirement.
