Form N-CSRS Filings

What Is SEC Form N-CSRS?

SEC Form N-CSRS is an important filing required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and related SEC reporting rules. It is used by registered management investment companies to file certified semi-annual shareholder reports with the SEC not later than 10 days after those reports are transmitted to stockholders.

This form is typically filed after a fund sends its semi-annual shareholder report required under Rule 30e-1. It includes the shareholder report itself in the main filing document, along with required certifications and related disclosures.

Form N-CSRS ensures transparency by formally submitting certified semi-annual shareholder reports to the SEC after they have been sent to investors. While it is tied specifically to semi-annual reporting, it also includes required certifications and other disclosures that support regulatory review of fund reporting.

Key elements typically found in SEC Form N-CSRS include:

• Name of the registrant and Investment Company Act file number
• Semi-annual report to shareholders
• Date of fiscal year end and reporting period
• Principal executive office information
• Certifications required under Sarbanes-Oxley
• Additional disclosures required by Form N-CSR for semi-annual reporting periods
