The Securities and Exchange Commission has published a prototype “summary prospectus” for mutual funds, and has asked for public comment from investors. The proposed streamlined prospectus would let investors quickly learn key information about a mutual fund.
The Commission voted unanimously on November 15 to propose rule amendments that would enable investors to view a concise, plain English summary of key facts about a mutual fund. The SEC says in a release that it is seeking public comment on the proposed rule amendments, including the summary prospectus, which is available online at www.sec.gov/investor/enhanceddisclosure.htm, along with additional information to help investors understand and participate in the comment process.
The Commission is proposing that the following information be included in a mutual fund summary prospectus:
- Investment objectives
- Costs
- Principal investment strategies, risks, and performance
