Corporate Partner Rajib Chanda was quoted in Ignites, a Financial Times news service, on the SEC’s recently released Frequently Asked Questions (“FAQs”) regarding its investment company liquidity risk management rule. The FAQs explore the agency’s expectations with respect to the frequency and timing of classification of holdings, and attempt to answer questions about investment funds’ highly liquid investment minimums and the 15% limit on illiquid securities. In particular, several of the FAQs relate to issues regarding how asset class-based classifications of securities might be implemented and monitored. “[G]iven how crucial the asset-class-based classification system was to a workable final rule, putting more guidance around that … is particularly useful,” Rajib says.
