21 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2). 

22 Id. 22 Id. 

the Prior Release and in the proposed 

rule change, investors would have ready 

access to information regarding the 

Fund’s holdings (including Derivative 

Instruments), the Intraday Indicative 

Value, the Disclosed Portfolio, and 

quotation and last sale information for 

the Shares. 

For the above reasons, the Exchange 

believes the proposed rule change is 

consistent with the requirements of 

Section 6(b)(5) of the Act. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

The Exchange does not believe that 

the proposed rule change will impose 

any burden on competition that is not 

necessary or appropriate in furtherance 

of the purposes of the Act. The 

Exchange believes the proposed rule 

change will permit the Adviser 

additional flexibility in achieving the 

Fund’s investment objectives, thereby 

offering investors additional investment 

options. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants or Others 

Written comments were neither 

solicited nor received. 

III. Solicitation of Comments

IV. Designation of a Longer Period for 

Commission Action 

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act 21 provides 

that, within 45 days of the publication 

of notice of the filing of a proposed rule 

change, or within such longer period up 

to 90 days as the Commission may 

designate if it finds such longer period 

to be appropriate and publishes its 

reasons for so finding or as to which the 

self-regulatory organization consents, 

the Commission shall either approve the 

proposed rule change, disapprove the 

proposed rule change, or institute 

proceedings to determine whether the 

proposed rule change should be 

disapproved. The Commission is 

extending this 45-day time period. 

The proposed rule change, as 

modified by Amendment No. 1 thereto, 

would permit the Fund to invest up to 

40% of its net assets in bank loans and 

up to 30% of its net assets in Derivative 

Instruments (excluding Derivative 

Instruments used solely for hedging 

purposes). The Commission finds that it 

is appropriate to designate a longer 

period within which to take action on 

the proposed rule change, as modified 

by Amendment No. 1 thereto, so that it 

has sufficient time to consider the 

proposed rule change and Amendment 

No. 1. 

Accordingly, the Commission, 

pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the 

Act,22 designates May 9, 2014, as the 

date by which the Commission should 

either approve or disapprove or institute 

proceedings to determine whether to 

disapprove the proposed rule change 

(File Number SR–NASDAQ–2014–009), 

as modified by Amendment No. 1 

thereto. 

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.23
