What Is SEC Form N-18F1/A?

SEC Form N-18F1/A is an important amendment filing related to Form N-18F-1 under Rule 18f-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. It is used by a registered open-end management investment company to amend a previously filed election regarding its commitment to pay cash for redemptions in accordance with the rule.

This form is typically filed when a fund needs to update, revise, or correct information contained in an earlier Form N-18F-1 filing. Because it amends an existing election notice rather than creating a periodic reporting obligation, it is an event-driven filing and is submitted as needed.

Form N-18F1/A helps maintain accurate regulatory records by reflecting changes to a prior Rule 18f-1 election filing. It supports transparency in fund filings and helps regulators and market participants review amended election information.

Key elements typically found in SEC Form N-18F1/A include:

  • Name of the registered investment company
  • Reference to the prior Form N-18F-1 election filing being amended
  • Statement of the amended or corrected election information
  • Identification of the filing as an amendment under Rule 18f-1
  • Signature of the registrant or authorized representative
  • Filing submitted electronically through EDGAR
