Abstract: 

For registered investment companies seeking to raise capital, the author suggests a little known approach: consecutive private and public offerings of shares. He discusses the legal framework for this approach, focusing on the SEC guidance on integration and 1940 Act-only registration requirements. He then turns to several historical examples of such offerings and closes with a discussion of some of their benefits.

Keywords: 1940 Act-Only Registration Requirements; Avoidance of Regulatory Net Worth and Seed Audit Requirements
