{"abstract":"The Securities and Exchange Commission is proposing amendments to Form N-1A under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment Company Act of 1940 to require open-end management investment companies to disclose in their prospectuses both the risks to shareholders of the frequent purchase and redemption of investment company shares, and the investment company's policies and procedures with respect to such frequent purchases and redemptions. The proposals would also amend Forms N-3, N-4, and N-6 to require similar prospectus disclosure for insurance company separate accounts issuing variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts. The Commission is also proposing to amend Forms N-1A and N-3 to clarify that open-end management investment companies and insurance company managed separate accounts that offer variable annuities, other than money market funds, are required to explain both the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing. In addition, the Commission is proposing to require open-end management investment companies and insurance company managed separate accounts that offer variable annuities to disclose their policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of their portfolio securities, and any ongoing arrangements to make available information about their portfolio securities.","action":"Proposed rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION","name":"Securities and Exchange Commission","id":466,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/securities-and-exchange-commission","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/466","parent_id":null,"slug":"securities-and-exchange-commission"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2003/12/17/03-31070.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":239,"title":17},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":274,"title":17}],"citation":"68 FR 70402","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2004-02-06","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Comments must be received on or before February 6, 2004.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Release Nos. 33-8343","IC-26287","File No. S7-26-03"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"03-31070","effective_on":null,"end_page":70419,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2003/12/17/03-31070.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2003/12/17/03-31070/disclosure-regarding-market-timing-and-selective-disclosure-of-portfolio-holdings","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/03-31070?publication_date=2003-12-17","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2003-12-17/03-31070/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":18,"page_views":{"count":188,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 10:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2003-12-17/pdf/03-31070.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2003-12-17","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2003/12/17/03-31070.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"3235-AI99":null},"regulation_id_numbers":["3235-AI99"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":70402,"subtype":null,"title":"Disclosure Regarding Market Timing and Selective Disclosure of Portfolio Holdings","toc_doc":"Market timing disclosure and selective disclosure of portfolio holdings; Forms N-1A, N-3, N-4, and N-6; amendments","toc_subject":"Securities and investment companies:","topics":["Investment companies","Reporting and recordkeeping requirements","Securities"],"type":"Proposed Rule","volume":68}
