Are the CurrencyShares products registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940?
No, and therefore they are not managed like mutual funds. Rather, the CurrencyShares Trusts are exchange traded products that are registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and accordingly are subject to SEC prospectus delivery and periodic reporting requirements.
