The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is considering an application from Fidelity Covington Trust and others to amend a prior order, allowing certain funds to expand their investment options beyond what's currently permitted. The proposal suggests that these funds be able to invest in additional securities, such as fixed income and foreign investments, while adhering to new disclosure requirements to ensure transparency. The application argues that the flexibility in investments would not lead to confusion among investors and wouldn't negatively affect the fund's performance or operations. If granted, the new order would continue to meet the regulatory standards needed for exemption under various sections of the Investment Company Act.
