ETF Conversions Post-Dual Share Class Relief: If Share Classes Called the Question, Does a Conversion Answer the Call?
Date: 10 November 2026
This webinar discusses mutual fund to ETF conversions in light of the SEC's exemptive relief for dual share classes.

The webinar will include a discussion of:
- Market trends with respect to conversions and commercial and practical considerations for asset managers determining whether to propose an ETF clone, ETF share class, or mutual fund to ETF conversion;
- Board and regulatory considerations for evaluating management's recommendations; and
- Practical considerations, challenges, and solutions for funds undergoing a conversion, including proxy solicitation, shareholder communications, and orphaned accounts.
