An open-end investment company may issue:
a.Both common shares and multiple classes of preferred shares
b.Only one class of voting common stock, with different sales charge arrangements permitted
c.Common stock and long-term bonds, but no preferred stock
d.Any capital structure approved by a majority of the board
Explanation
An open-end fund is limited to a single class of voting stock, though it may offer that stock through different sales charge structures such as Class A, B, and C shares. Senior securities such as preferred stock and bonds may be issued by closed-end funds, not open-end funds. The board cannot vote to override this statutory capital structure limit.
