Moreover, the SEC estimates that when the Names Rule goes into effect, three out of four registered funds will be subject to the new requirements.

Jay and Louisa Kiu, Investment Funds counsel in Sidley’s Boston office, discuss the new and expanded Names Rule, and what it means for funds, advisers, and fund directors.
