What changed

The SEC published notice on April 17, 2026 of an application filed by Man ETF Series Trust and Man Solutions LLC on March 4, 2026, under section 6(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for exemption from section 15(a) and certain disclosure requirements in rule 20a-1, Form N-1A, Schedule 14A, and Regulation S-X.
