Seligman uses unique fund structure
From The Wall Street Journal -- subscribers only
Seligman is raising $500 million for its New Technologies Fund which will invest in Internet companies before they go public. Co-managed by Paul Wick and Storm Boswick will be able to invest up to 35% of the fund in private equity. The fund circumvents the 15% limit by using a closed-end structure. Unlike other closed-end funds, though, it will not be exchange listed. Every quarter, the fund will buyback as many as 5% of its shares. The fund will have a 3% load and 3% expense ratio including a 2% management fee.
