24Sovereign debt, according to the Exchange, 

enjoys a relationship to foreign governments that is 

not unlike that of Treasury debt securities and the 

U.S. government. See Notice, supra note 3.

day decisions regarding liquidity of 

securities, may consider the following 

factors regarding liquidity: The 

frequency of trades and quotes for the 

security; the number of dealers wishing 

to purchase or sell the security and the 

number of other potential purchasers; 

dealer undertakings to make a market in 

the security; and the nature of the 

security and of the marketplace trades 

(e.g., the time needed to dispose of the 

security, the method of soliciting offers, 

and the mechanics of transfer).23

Ultimately, however, each Fund’s Board 

of Directors has responsibility for 

determining the liquidity of securities 

(including Rule 144A securities) held by 

the Funds. The Commission notes that 

the Adviser represents that each Fund’s 

holdings in Rule 144A securities 

deemed liquid by the Sub-Adviser will 

be part of an issuance with more than 

$100 million in principal outstanding. 

Finally, the Exchange has stated that the 

Adviser represents it does not expect 

that the proposed rule change will 

impede the ability of the Funds’ agent 

to calculate an NAV and an IIV and 

disseminate such IIV every 15 seconds 

throughout the trading day. 

The Commission further notes that 

pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules 

thereunder, the Funds are required to 

monitor their respective portfolio’s 

liquidity on an ongoing basis to 

determine whether, in light of current 

circumstances, an adequate level of 

liquidity is being maintained, and to 

consider taking appropriate steps in 

order to maintain adequate liquidity if 

through a change in values, net assets or 

other circumstances, more than 15% of 

the Fund’s net assets are held in illiquid 

securities. 

Thus, the Commission finds that 

providing the Adviser and Sub-Adviser 

additional flexibility with respect to 

investing in a larger percentage of 

investments in Rule 144A Securities, 

given the protections discussed above, 

is consistent with the Act. 

The Exchange also proposes to allow 

the Global Fund to invest up to 20% of 

its net assets in sovereign debt, which 

is defined as ‘‘debt securities of foreign 

governments.’’ 24 Given that the Global 

Fund will continue to have at least 80% 

of its net assets in Global Corporate Debt 

that are fixed income securities and the 

Fund’s limitation regarding noninvestment grade securities, the 

Commission believes it is consistent 

with the Act for the Exchange to allow 

up to 20% of net assets of the Global 

Fund in sovereign debt. 

Finally, the Commission believes that 

it is consistent with the Act for the 

Exchange to amend the definition of 

Global Corporate Debt in the Global 

Fund and Corporate and QuasiSovereign Debt in the Emerging Markets 

Fund, as set forth in the Prior Approval 

Orders, to include (i) inflation-protected 

debt, fixed income securities and other 

debt obligations linked to inflation rates 

of local economies, and (ii) variable rate 

or floating rate securities which are 

readjusted on set dates (such as the last 

day of the month or calendar quarter) in 

the case of variable rates or whenever a 

specified interest rate change occurs in 

the case of a floating rate instrument. 

The Commission believes that this 

expansion of the definition is 

reasonable, given the characteristics of 

these securities, and would permit the 

Funds to invest in a broader range of 

market sectors, and thereby help further 

the Fund’s objectives to obtain both 

income and capital appreciation 

through direct and indirect investments 

in Global Corporate Debt or Corporate 

and Quasi-Sovereign Debt, as 

applicable, and other investments. 

Thus, the Commission finds this aspect 

of the proposal is consistent with the 

Act.25

Importantly, the Commission notes 

that the Shares will continue to be listed 

and traded on the Exchange pursuant to 

the initial and continued listing criteria 

in NASDAQ Rule 5735. In addition, the 

Adviser represents there is no change to 

either Fund’s investment objective, and 

except for the limited changes discussed 

herein, all other facts represented and 

representations made in the Rule 19b– 

4 26 filings underlying the Prior 

Approval Orders, and representations 

and findings set forth in the Prior 

Approval Orders, remain unchanged. 

The Exchange represents that the 

changes proposed would be consistent 

with the Exemptive Order 27 and the 

1940 Act and rules thereunder. 

This approval order is based on the 

Exchange’s representations. 

IV. Conclusion 

For the foregoing reasons, the 

Commission finds that the proposed 

rule change is consistent with Section 

6(b)(5) of the Act 28 and the rules and 

regulations thereunder applicable to a 

national securities exchange. 

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to 

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,29 that the 

proposed rule change (SR–NASDAQ– 

2013–079), as modified by Amendment 

No. 1 thereto, be, and it hereby is, 

approved. 

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.30
