What Is SEC Form 40-8F-2/A?

SEC Form 40-8F-2/A is an amendment to a previously filed Form 40-8F-2. It is submitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940 when a fund (such as a mutual fund, ETF, or closed-end fund) needs to update or correct its formal application to deregister with the SEC.

This form is typically used when the SEC staff requests additional information or when there are material changes to the fund\'s status (e.g., changes in the distribution of assets or updates on pending litigation) that occurred after the initial deregistration application was filed.

Key elements typically found in SEC Form 40-8F-2/A include:

  • Reference to Prior Filing: Identification of the original Form 40-8F-2 and the specific amendment number (e.g., Amendment No. 1).
  • Updated Financial Data: Revisions to the statement of assets and liabilities or the final distribution amounts to shareholders.
  • Litigation Updates: Clarifications regarding any legal proceedings that might impact the fund\'s ability to deregister.
  • Verification: A formal legal certification signed by an authorized officer of the fund.
