SEC Postpones Date For Filing Form N-PORT

On December 8, 2017, citing the "importance of sound data security practices and protocols for sensitive, nonpublic information," the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted a temporary final rule postponing the filing of Form N-PORT on EDGAR until April 30, 2019 (originally July 30, 2018) for larger fund groups (those with net assets of $1 billion or more) and until April 30, 2020 for smaller fund groups (originally June 1, 2019). The SEC also delayed the rescission of Form N-Q.

Form N-PORT requires registered investment companies (other than money market funds, small business investment companies, and unit investment trusts that operate as ETFs) to report information about their complete monthly portfolio holdings, in addition to other information, to the SEC in extensible markup language (XML) structured data format no later than 30 days after the close of each month.
