It appears that Funds may obtain the Relief necessary to offer Mutual Fund and ETF Classes in the same Fund in the coming months, but there are still a number of operational hurdles. This overview of Combined Class Structure operational issues is intended to help Fund sponsors and service providers to identify and navigate some of the operational and ecosystem issues associated with offering ETF Shares and Mutual Fund Shares in reliance on the Relief.
While implementation will no doubt involve certain challenges and complexities, given our broad fund industry contacts and unmatched ETF operational expertise, Ropes & Gray is well positioned to help Funds, their sponsors and their Boards and other Fund industry participants navigate them. Please reach out to your regular Ropes & Gray contact or contact us at ETFInnovations@ropesgray.com if you would like to discuss the Relief or any of the topics discussed in this Operational Overview.
