Multi-Class ETF Fund Exemptive Relief Under the Investment Company Act of 1940
Summary
The Securities and Exchange Commission has issued a notice regarding exemptive relief for multi-class ETF funds under the Investment Company Act of 1940. This notice provides details on applications filed and amended, outlining the scope of relief granted.
What changed
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued a notice concerning exemptive relief for multi-class Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The notice details applications filed on June 27, 2025, and amended on October 14, 2025, indicating the SEC's consideration of granting specific exemptions to facilitate the operation of such funds.
This action is significant for fund managers and public companies involved in ETF creation and management. While this is a notice and not a rule, it signals the SEC's approach to multi-class ETF structures and may set precedents for future applications. Compliance officers should review the specific relief granted and its implications for their fund structures, particularly concerning investor protections and operational requirements under the Investment Company Act.
What to do next
- Review SEC Investment Company Act Release No. 36070 for details on exemptive relief granted to multi-class ETF funds.
- Assess the impact of this relief on existing or planned multi-class ETF structures.
- Consult legal counsel regarding specific compliance obligations arising from the relief.
