Asset management counsel Ed Baer will moderate a panel at the 2025 SIFMA Operations Conference & Exhibition on Wednesday, May 7 in Grande Lakes, Orlando, Florida.
Ed will moderate a panel titled “Unpacking ETF Share Classes: Evolution, Impacts, and the Road Ahead,” which will explore the evolving landscape of ETF share class structures, with a focus on the anticipated SEC exemptive relief that would allow mutual funds and ETFs to coexist within a single fund structure through distinct share classes. The discussion will delve into the operational, regulatory, and market implications of such structures, highlighting the impacts on distributors, service providers, custodians, funds, authorized participants, mutual fund sponsors, regulators, market infrastructure providers, and market participants. Key topics will include the challenges of implementing dual share class structures, the potential benefits for investors, and the considerations for market participants in adapting to these changes.
