Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 214 / Tuesday, November 7, 2017 / Notices 51667 

2Eaton Vance Management has obtained patents 

with respect to certain aspects of the Funds’ method 

of operation as exchange-traded managed funds. 

3All entities that currently intend to rely on the 

Order are named as applicants. Any other entity 

that relies on the Order in the future will comply 

with the terms and conditions of the Order and of 

the Reference Order, which is incorporated by 

reference herein. 

Applicants 

1. The Trust is registered as an openend management investment company 

under the Act and is a statutory trust 

organized under the laws of Delaware. 

Applicants seek relief with respect to 

one Fund (as defined below, and that 

Fund, the ‘‘Initial Fund’’). The portfolio 

positions of each Fund will consist of 

securities and other assets selected and 

managed by its Adviser or Subadviser 

(as defined below) to pursue the Fund’s 

investment objective. 

2. The Adviser, a Delaware limited 

partnership, will be the investment 

adviser to the Initial Fund. An Adviser 

(as defined below) will serve as 

investment adviser to each Fund. The 

Adviser is, and any other Adviser will 

be, registered as an investment adviser 

under the Investment Advisers Act of 

1940 (‘‘Advisers Act’’). The Adviser may 

retain one or more subadvisers (each a 

‘‘Subadviser’’) to manage the portfolios 

of the Funds. Any Subadviser will be 

registered, or not subject to registration, 

under the Advisers Act. 

3. The Distributor is a Colorado 

corporation and a broker-dealer 

registered under the Securities 

Exchange Act of 1934 and will act as the 

principal underwriter of Shares of the 

Funds. Applicants request that the 

requested relief apply to any distributor 

of Shares, whether affiliated or 

unaffiliated with the Adviser (included 

in the term ‘‘Distributor’’). Any 

Distributor will comply with the terms 

and conditions of the Order. 

Applicants’ Requested Exemptive Relief 

4. Applicants seek the requested 

Order under section 6(c) of the Act for 

an exemption from sections 2(a)(32), 

5(a)(1), 22(d) and 22(e) of the Act and 

rule 22c–1 under the Act, under 

sections 6(c) and 17(b) of the Act for an 

exemption from sections 17(a)(1) and 

17(a)(2) of the Act, and under section 

12(d)(1)(J) of the Act for an exemption 

from sections 12(d)(1)(A) and (B) of the 

Act. The requested Order would permit 

applicants to offer exchange-traded 

managed funds. Because the relief 

requested is the same as the relief 

granted by the Commission under the 

Reference Order and because the 

Adviser has entered into, or anticipates 

entering into, a licensing agreement 

with Eaton Vance Management, or an 

affiliate thereof in order to offer 

exchange-traded managed funds,2 the 

Order would incorporate by reference 

the terms and conditions of the 

Reference Order. 

5. Applicants request that the Order 

apply to the Initial Fund and to any 

other existing or future open-end 

management investment company or 

series thereof that: (a) Is advised by the 

Adviser or any entity controlling, 

controlled by, or under common control 

with the Adviser (any such entity 

included in the term ‘‘Adviser’’); and (b) 

operates as an exchange-traded managed 

fund as described in the Reference 

Order; and (c) complies with the terms 

and conditions of the Order and of the 

Reference Order, which is incorporated 

by reference herein (each such company 

or series and Initial Fund, a ‘‘Fund’’).3

6. Section 6(c) of the Act provides that 

the Commission may exempt any 

person, security or transaction, or any 

class of persons, securities or 

transactions, from any provisions of the 

Act, if and to the extent that such 

exemption is necessary or appropriate 

in the public interest and consistent 

with the protection of investors and the 

purposes fairly intended by the policy 

and provisions of the Act. Section 17(b) 

of the Act authorizes the Commission to 

exempt a proposed transaction from 

section 17(a) of the Act if evidence 

establishes that the terms of the 

transaction, including the consideration 

to be paid or received, are reasonable 

and fair and do not involve 

overreaching on the part of any person 

concerned, and the proposed 

transaction is consistent with the 

policies of the registered investment 

company and the general purposes of 

the Act. Section 12(d)(1)(J) of the Act 

provides that the Commission may 

exempt any person, security, or 

transaction, or any class or classes of 

persons, securities or transactions, from 

any provision of section 12(d)(1) if the 

exemption is consistent with the public 

interest and the protection of investors. 

7. Applicants submit that for the 

reasons stated in the Reference Order: 

(1) With respect to the relief requested 

pursuant to section 6(c) of the Act, the 

relief is appropriate, in the public 

interest and consistent with the 

protection of investors and the purposes 

fairly intended by the policy and 

provisions of the Act; (2) with respect to 

the relief request pursuant to section 

17(b) of the Act, the proposed 

transactions are reasonable and fair and 

do not involve overreaching on the part 

of any person concerned, are consistent 

with the policies of each registered 

investment company concerned and 

consistent with the general purposes of 

the Act; and (3) with respect to the relief 

requested pursuant to section 12(d)(1)(J) 

of the Act, the relief is consistent with 

the public interest and the protection of 

investors. 

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Investment Management, pursuant to 

delegated authority. 

Eduardo A. Aleman, 

Assistant Secretary.
