The Exchange filed the proposed rule change on December 1, 2025, and the Commission designated the change to be operative upon filing, waiving the normal 30-day delay. This means the Fund’s transition to Amended Rule 14.11(e)(4) became effective immediately upon the December 1, 2025 filing.
Exchange Says Competition Benefits Investors
The Exchange states that moving the Fund to the generic listing standards will facilitate continued listing and trading of exchange-traded products and that this will enhance competition among market participants to the benefit of investors and the marketplace. The Exchange represents this change as promoting competition and investor protection.
