I tend to agree with Mark Roe, who has surmised that the SEC agreed to inclusion of the provision as a quid pro quo exchange for the industry going along with other parts of the bill: Although resale price maintenance has been illegal in antitrust (but attacked as not necessarily good policy), the mutual fund industry had federally-mandated noncompetition among dealers: the advisor sets the load, dealers completing th e foundation 43 cannot cut it. Price competition among mutual fund dealers is a criminal offense.
Cabot could not contain himself and blurted out, “Mr. President, this is a damned outrage. ’ He pulled just one sheet out of his drawer, and it had the whole summarized tax bill that was up for consideration. I told him what we wanted and why. ”44 The result of these efforts was the Revenue Act of 1936, which provided that if a mutual fund met a number of tests, it would be exempt from tax, and fund shareholders would be taxed on distributions they receive, thus putting fund shareholders on a par with direct investors in securities.
First, the drafters of the act did not attempt to address the premium issue, presumably because there is no way to prevent an investor from paying $2 for a fund share when the liquidation value is only $1. Second, section 18 of the SEC’s bill offered a simple way to end the problem of excessive leverage. It flatly prohibited closedend funds and mutual funds from issuing any senior securities. The idea of a total ban on senior securities did not present a problem for mutual funds because their core concept of daily redeemability rested on the existence of only one class of securities, common shares.
