Abstract

See full text

A mutual fund having at least one class of crossing shares that cannot be redeemed for cash unless there is a crossing request to buy shares in the fund and at least one class of non-crossing shares. The fund may offer one or more of several other non-cash redemption options that minimize transaction costs incurred by the fund. The non-crossing shares may include one or more conventional share classes and/or one or more exchange-traded share classes. Additional redemption options available to holders of crossing shares may include redemption in kind for a basket of representative financial assets, conversion to exchange-traded shares (where available), or redemption for cash less a redemption fee.
