Funds in Registration
New no-load funds in registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission
Fund management firms must register their proposed funds with the SEC, which makes the draft prospectuses available to the public through the Edgar database on their website (www.sec.gov). There is usually an 8 – 10 week lag between filing with the SEC and a public offering. During this time, the advisor is forbidden to speak with outsiders about the fund as agency staff reviews the documents for legal compliance. During this period, fund companies may reconsider the decision to launch a fund by filing a series of one month extensions.
Most funds, except those from larger fund groups, will not yet have ticker symbols. This list will give you a sense of what options you might soon have, since most of these funds will be available in the coming months.
