HR3383 — the Increasing Investor Opportunities Act — removes SEC restrictions on closed-end fund investments in private funds, directly benefiting private equity managers $BX and $KKR through expanded AUM channels, and exchange operators $CBOE, $ICE, and $NDAQ through increased listing and trading volume. The bill passed committee 41-10 and was considered under rule in December 2025; over the last 30 days, $BX gained +8.31% and $KKR +12.42%, consistent with growing passage expectations.

The data is consistent with the thesis: private equity managers $KKR (current $103.99, +12.42% 30-day) and $BX (current $124.55, +8.31% 30-day) are rallying on passage expectations. Exchange operators are also participating — $CBOE at $306.95 (+9.21% 30-day), near its 52-week high of $309.87. The divergence in $ICE (+1.37% 30-day) suggests investors see less direct exposure through ICE's NYSE listing business relative to its other segments. The real catalyst is the House floor vote once called; a clear calendar would likely drive another leg up in the pureplays. Investors should watch the House Rules Committee and floor schedule for the next legislative action.
HR3383, the Increasing Investor Opportunities Act, amends the Investment Company Act of 1940 to prohibit the SEC from restricting closed-end funds (including Business Development Companies, BDCs) from investing in private funds. The bill also prevents the SEC from limiting the listing of such closed-end fund shares on national exchanges. Passed the House Financial Services Committee 41-10 on May 20, 2025, and was considered under a structured rule (H.Res. 936) on December 10, 2025. The bill is currently in mid-stage — passed the House committee, with a Senate companion (S. 3671) introduced. It authorizes no direct funding; the mechanism is deregulatory — removing an SEC prohibition.
The money trail flows through expanded capital access: closed-end funds and BDCs can now offer retail investors exposure to private equity and private credit assets via publicly traded vehicles. This fee structure is management fees on incremental AUM for private fund managers. $BX (Blackstone) and $KKR (KKR) are the primary beneficiaries, with both having significant private fund AUM that can be accessed through this new channel. The exchanges — $CBOE (Cboe Global Markets), $ICE (Intercontinental Exchange, NYSE), and $NDAQ (Nasdaq) — benefit from incremental listing fees and trading volume on new closed-end fund IPOs.
Market data over the last 30 days reflects this thesis: $KKR gained +12.42% (current $103.99), $BX gained +8.31% (current $124.55), $CBOE gained +9.21% (current $306.95 near 52-week high of $309.87), $NDAQ gained +7.99% (current $91.67), and $ICE gained +1.37% (current $159.43). The divergence between $ICE's muted 30-day move and the other exchanges suggests less market conviction in ICE's exposure, consistent with its diversified business model (including energy trading and mortgage technology).
Legislative timeline: The bill's next step is a House floor vote, which was set up by the rule in December 2025. The Senate companion (S. 3671) is in the Banking Committee. With a 41-10 committee vote and bipartisan sponsorship (Rep. Wagner, R-MO; Rep. Meeks, D-NY), passage probability is elevated. The 5 amendments offered during mark-up indicate active engagement but no fatal opposition. The 119th Congress runs through 2027.
