2. We note your response to the staff's prior comment 3 regarding value of
the VIEs. Based
on the information provided, we do not necessarily agree with your view
that the book
value of the VIEs reflect fair value consistent with section 2(a)(41) of
the Act. In
addition, your response to prior comment 3 references Accounting Series
Release
( ASR ) No. 113, Financial Reporting Codification (CCH) 404.04
(Oct. 21, 1969) and
ASR No. 118, Financial Reporting Codification (CCH) 404.03 (Dec.23,
1970).
However, ASR 113 and ASR 118 have been rescinded in their entirety. See
Good Faith
Determinations of Fair Value, SEC Investment Company Act Rel. No. 34128
(Dec. 3,
2020). Please ensure that, going forward, the Company values the VIEs in
a manner
consistent with the Act. Please confirm your understanding of the
foregoing.
Please contact Laura Veator at 202-551-3716 or Stephen Krikorian at
