The Commission will consider whether to adopt rules and related amendments designed to provide an updated and more comprehensive approach to the regulation of funds' use of derivatives and other transactions while enhancing investor protections. The amendments the Commission will consider also would include new reporting requirements to enhance the Commission's ability to effectively oversee funds' use of derivatives. The Commission also will consider whether to rescind existing guidance and exemptive relief addressing derivatives and other transactions that would be covered by this new regulatory framework.
