 Stockpatrol: The Investment Act of 1940 - It Was A Very Good Year
The Investment Company Act of 1940 carved out a separate set of regulations for companies that engage primarily in investing, reinvesting, and trading in securities, and whose own securities are offered to the investing public.
And while the Investment Company Act requires these companies to disclose their financial condition and investment strategy to investors, the 1940 Act consists of esoteric rules that operate with its companion code, the 1933 Act, to permit qualified companies to sell shares that have not been registered with the SEC.
Unlike the 1933 and 1934 Acts, which are utilized and invoked by securities experts and amateur investors with equal ease, for sixty four years the Investment Company Act of 1940 has remained the province of a handful of Wall Street professionals and securities attorneys.
