SEC Adopts Reporting Enhancements For Registered Investment Companies And Provides Guidance On Open-End Fund Liquidity Risk Management Programs

Date 28/08/2024

The Securities and Exchange Commission today adopted amendments to reporting requirements on Form N-PORT to provide the Commission and investors with more timely information about certain registered investment companies (funds).

The amendments will provide the Commission with timelier information about funds’ portfolio investments, which will promote more effective regulatory monitoring and oversight of the fund industry for the benefit of fund investors. The amendments also will triple the amount of Form N-PORT data available to investors in a given year, enhancing investors’ ability to review and monitor information about their funds’ portfolios.
