Dear Mr. Minore:
This letter responds to the comments of the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) provided telephonically on June 4, 2018, relating to the registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) on Form N-2 of Pomona Investment Fund (the “Fund”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and Amendment No. 12 to the Fund’s Registration Statement on Form N-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, filed on May 4, 2018. Undefined capitalized terms used below have the same meaning as given in the Registration Statement.
PROSPECTUS:
1. | Comment: Please confirm whether the Fund intends to engage in borrowing and, if so, please include a line item in the “SUMMARY OF FEES AND EXPENSES” table labeled “Interest Payments on Borrowed Funds” that reflects the estimated interest expenses expected to be incurred by the Fund during the current fiscal year, in accordance with General Instruction 8 of Item 3 of Form N-2. In addition, please finalize the figures in the “SUMMARY OF FEES AND EXPENSES” table and confirm their accuracy. |
Response: The Fund confirms that it does not expect to engage in borrowing during the current fiscal year. To the extent the Fund uses borrowings available under its credit facility and the interest payments are material, the Fund will file a supplement to the Registration Statement to disclose such expenses. In addition, the Fund confirms that it will include finalized fee and expense figures in the “SUMMARY OF FEES AND EXPENSES” table in a pre-effective amendment to the Registration Statement.
