The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently finalized rule and form amendments (Adopted Rules) that require mutual funds and most exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to provide shareholders with streamlined and “visually engaging” shareholder reports. The Adopted Rules include significant changes to both the content and the presentation of information in shareholder reports, summarizing certain key information and moving other information that is currently included in shareholder reports to other SEC filings (e.g., Form N-CSR) and to fund websites. These changes are part of the SEC’s investor experience initiative and its effort to modernize shareholder disclosures and implement layered disclosure approaches.
