SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[Investment Company Act Release No. 35917]
Multi-Class ETF Fund Exemptive Relief Under the Investment
Company Act of 1940
January 27, 2026.
AGENCY: Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'' or ``SEC'').
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notice of applications under section 6(c) of the Investment Company
Act of 1940 (``Act''), each for an exemption from sections 2(a)(32),
5(a)(1), 18(f)(1), 18(i), 22(d) and 22(e) of the Act and rule 22c-1
under the Act and under sections 6(c) and 17(b) of the Act for an
exemption from sections 17(a)(1) and 17(a)(2) of the Act.
SUMMARY OF APPLICATIONS: In each case, the Applicants (specified
below) listed in the relevant paragraph below request an order
(``Order'') that would permit a registered open-end management
investment company to offer one class of exchange-traded shares that
operates as an exchange-traded fund (an ``ETF Class,'' and such shares,
``ETF Shares'') and one or more classes of shares that are not
exchange-traded (each such class, a ``Mutual Fund Class,'' and such
shares, ``Mutual Fund Shares,'' and each such fund, a ``Multi-Class ETF
Fund''). Each Order would provide Multi-Class ETF Funds with two broad
categories of relief: (i) the relief necessary to permit standard
exchange-traded fund (``ETF'') operations consistent with Rule 6c-11
under the Act (``ETF Operational Relief'') and (ii) the relief
necessary for a fund to offer an ETF Class and one or more Mutual Fund
Classes (``ETF Class Relief'').

application referenced below will be issued unless the SEC orders a
hearing on that application. Interested persons may request a hearing

request by email, if an email address is listed for the relevant
