What is N-2?

Form N-2, Registration statement for closed-end management investment companies, is the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) form whose title states its use: it is the registration statement for a closed-end management investment company.

The SEC publishes the form as a PDF at https://www.sec.gov/files/formn-2.pdf, and that PDF is the document this page covers. The SEC also keeps a forms index at https://www.sec.gov/submit-filings/forms-index. Each entry there gives the form number, the form's title, an SEC publication number and one or more category labels, such as Securities Act of 1933 or Investment Companies. Use the index to confirm the publication details of Form N-2.

Form N-2 is not interchangeable with the other registration forms in that index. Form 10, for example, is titled "General form for registration of securities pursuant to Section 12(b) or (g)", and Form 18 is titled "Application for registration pursuant to Section 12(b) & (c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934". Each carries its own number and title. The title of Form N-2 is the one that names closed-end management investment companies.

Who needs to file N-2?

The audience placed with Form N-2 is closed-end management investment companies, the registrants named in its title.

Companies of another type should not assume this is their form. The SEC forms index lists many separately numbered and titled forms, for instance Form 10, "General form for registration of securities pursuant to Section 12(b) or (g)", and each is meant for its own situation.

Whether a particular company has to register, and what the registration must contain, is decided by the instructions printed on the form and by the SEC's own materials. Read the official PDF at https://www.sec.gov/files/formn-2.pdf before you rely on this page to decide that Form N-2 applies to you.

How to fill out N-2

  1. Confirm Form N-2 is the right form

    Check that the registrant is a closed-end management investment company, the type named in the form's title, and that you are not looking for another form in the SEC forms index.

  2. Open the fillable PDF

    Open the form on this page, which is based on the SEC's official PDF at https://www.sec.gov/files/formn-2.pdf.

  3. Read the instructions printed on the form

    Follow the instructions in the SEC's PDF for each item; the requirements for what to enter come from the form itself.

  4. Enter the registrant information

    Type each entry in the field the form provides, using the registrant's details exactly as they appear in your records.

  5. Check entries against the official form

    Compare your entries with the SEC's PDF so that every item the form asks for is answered in the place the form specifies.

  6. Review and download the completed PDF

    Review the whole form, then download or print the completed PDF from FillingPDF and submit it through the channels described under How to submit.

How to submit N-2

Submit Form N-2 through the channels the SEC specifies. Start from the official PDF at https://www.sec.gov/files/formn-2.pdf and from the SEC forms index at https://www.sec.gov/submit-filings/forms-index, which sits in the agency's submit-filings section on sec.gov.

Before you send anything, confirm in the form's own instructions and on the SEC's pages which filing channel, address or system applies to your registration. This page does not set a channel for you.

FillingPDF lets you fill out and download the PDF; submission follows the agency's channels.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Using Form N-2 for a registrant that is not a closed-end management investment company; the title of the form names that type of registrant.
  • Choosing another SEC registration form from the forms index, such as Form 10 or Form 18, when the registration you need is the one titled for closed-end management investment companies.
  • Completing a copy of the form that did not come from the SEC instead of the official PDF at https://www.sec.gov/files/formn-2.pdf.
  • Searching or labeling the form as "N2" when the SEC prints the number as N-2, which can lead to the wrong document.
