Division of Investment Management: Modified or Withdrawn Staff Statements
May 6, 2025
The Division of Investment Management issues staff no-action letters and other staff statements that represent the views of the Division staff and are not a rule, regulation, or statement of the Commission, which has neither approved nor disapproved the content. Like all staff guidance, staff statements do not have any legal force or effect. They do not alter or amend applicable law, and they create no new or additional obligations.
This list consists of certain staff statements that have been modified or withdrawn over time. This list is not exhaustive and is intended solely as a resource. There may be other staff statements that have been modified or withdrawn that are not included in this list or are no longer applicable. Accordingly, a staff statement should be considered in light of regulatory changes that may have occurred since it was issued.
Contact the Division of Investment Management with any specific questions.
