Substance and purpose of the amendments
Under the new Form and related amendments, mutual fund companies will be required to prepare a new document, called “Fund Facts”, for each class or series of their mutual funds, and to make it available to the public on a website. The Fund Facts highlight key information for investors, including a description of the fund, and the performance, risks and costs of buying and owning the fund, in a short, easy-to-read document.
