Key Points

  • Allows mutual funds and similar investment funds to leave out some fees when they invest through business development companies.
  • This changes what shows up in the “fees and expenses” part of fund paperwork investors may see when comparing funds.
  • Supporters may argue it makes fund fee disclosures clearer for certain investments tied to small-business financing; critics may worry it hides real costs.
  • If you invest in a fund that puts money into these small-business-lending companies, the listed fee number could look lower even if costs still exist.
  • The Securities and Exchange Commission would still oversee the registration forms, but Congress would be setting this specific disclosure rule.
