MFDF Webinar: Swing Pricing: Board Responsibilities and Operational Considerations

Mutual funds can opt to use “swing pricing” beginning November 2018. While swing pricing - adjusting a fund’s net asset value to pass transaction costs to transacting shareholders - has been used for several years in Europe, there are significant operational and regulatory considerations for implementing swing pricing for U.S. mutual funds.  Fund boards are responsible for approving a fund’s swing pricing policy, designating a swing pricing administrator, and overseeing the policy’s implementation. Fatima Sulaiman of K&L Gates will discuss the goals of swing pricing and how it works in practice, the board’s responsibilities under the swing pricing rule, operational challenges, and considerations for implementing swing pricing. 

 

This webinar will be broadcast live from 2:00 to 3:00 Eastern time on Thursday, June 22, 2017. Register online.
