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 Kevin M. O’Neill, Deputy Secretary.
