Correction: A prior version of this story mischaracterized the exemptive relief that the Boston Trust & Walden Funds and that Winton Capital each recently requested from the SEC. The former wants to facilitate interfund lending, and the latter wants to offer a CEF with multiple share classes, early withdrawal charges, and asset-based distribution fees.
