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 non23 See Securities Act Release No. 6862 (April 23,
1990), 55 FR 17933, 17940 (April 30, 1990) (Resale
of Restricted Securities; Changes to Method of
Determining Holding Period of Restricted Securities
Under Rules 144 and 145). See also supra, note 10.
24 Sovereign 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.

Jkt 229001
investment 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
25 See, e.g., Securities Act Release Nos. 65458
(September 30, 2011), 76 FR 62112 (October 6,
2011) (SR–NYSEArca–2011–54) and 64935 (July 20,
2011), 76 FR 44966 (July 27, 2011) (SR–NYSEArca–
2011–31).

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