NYSE Drops Plan to Skip Closed-End Fund Meetings
Published Date: 1/9/2026
Notice
Summary
The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) decided to stop trying to change the rules that would have let certain closed-end funds skip their yearly shareholder meetings. This affects closed-end funds registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, meaning they still have to hold these meetings. No changes to timing or costs will happen because the rule change was withdrawn.

Closed‑end funds keep annual meetings
If you own shares in a closed-end fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the fund must continue to hold its annual shareholder meeting. The NYSE filed a proposal on June 6, 2025 (published June 17, 2025) to exempt these funds but withdrew that proposed rule on January 5, 2026, so no timing or cost changes will occur.
