SEC rule 18f-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 was adopted by the SEC to provide an updated, comprehensive framework on the use of derivatives by registered investment companies, business development companies (BDCs), ETFs, and closed-end funds. UITs and money-market funds are exempt.
To assist funds in complying with the SEC's Rule 18f-4, which provides a framework on the use of derivatives by registered investment companies, ICE offers a module within its Portfolio Analytics service. This module facilitates the calculation of absolute and relative Value at Risk (VaR), conducts stress testing, and performs the Limited Derivatives User test as required under the rule.
