SEC Seeks Views From Investors on Proposals to Improve Mutual Fund Disclosure
Under the proposals, every mutual fund prospectus would include a summary section, consisting of the following key information about the fund:
It is the Commission’s intent that this information would be presented in three or four pages at the front of the prospectus. The Commission is also proposing to permit mutual funds to send or give you the summary information while providing the prospectus online and, upon your request, sending you a paper copy of the prospectus. The proposal is intended to provide you with key information that is easier to use while using the power of the Internet to make the more detailed information in the prospectus available to you at all times. You would still be able to get the prospectus in paper by asking for it. The Commission wants to know your views on the proposals. In addition, the Commission wants to know your views regarding the mutual fund prospectuses that you currently receive.
