Abstract:
In PLR 200701001, a qualified settlement fund (QSF) was created to resolve an administrative proceeding brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission against “X, Y, and Z” concerning investment advice to certain mutual funds. X and Y were investment advisors, while Z was described as a distributor. The proceeding related to inadequate or nonexistent disclosure of the policies of X, Y, and Z to allow market timing trades of mutual fund units in Years 1 through 4. QSF was established in Year 5.Keywords: PLR 200701001
