What is a US registered fund?

US-registered funds are pooled investment vehicles registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). They offer investors access to a broad range of investment opportunities and are subject to regulatory requirements designed to support investor protection and transparency. Liquidity varies by fund structure, from daily redemptions to periodic repurchase offers. Common examples include interval and tender offer funds, exchange-traded funds, and mutual funds.

Interval and tender offer funds

Interval and tender offer funds are types of closed-end funds that offer some features commonly associated with open-end funds. They give retail investors greater access to investments typically associated with private markets. These closed-end funds may continuously offer shares but do not provide daily redemptions. Instead, interval funds make periodic repurchase offers on a set schedule, while tender offer funds may make repurchase offers at the discretion of their boards of directors. Unlike open-end funds, they are not subject to the same restrictions on investments in illiquid securities.

Exchange-traded funds

US-registered exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) offer highly efficient, transparent, and scalable investment vehicles with access to the world’s largest ETF market. They enable managers to launch registered funds that offer shareholders intraday trading, tax efficiency, and generally lower expenses while benefiting from a flexible structure that supports a wide range of asset classes and investment approaches.

Mutual funds

US mutual funds offer investors diversified exposure, professional management, and strong regulatory oversight. For asset managers, their broad investor appeal, daily liquidity, and transparent governance standards have historically made them an attractive vehicle for gathering assets and building long-term client relationships.
