Baskets Consistent With the 

Exemptive Relief Issued Pursuant to

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

(‘‘Exchange Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 

thereunder,2 notice is hereby given that 

on August 3, 2021, Cboe BZX Exchange, 

Inc. (‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘BZX’’) filed with 

the Securities and Exchange 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) the 

proposed rule change as described in 

Items I, II, and III below, which Items 

have been prepared by the Exchange. 

The Commission is publishing this 

notice to solicit comments on the 

proposed rule change from interested 

persons. 

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Terms of Substance of 

the Proposed Rule Change 

Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the 

‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘BZX’’) proposes to 

amend Rule 14.11(m) (Tracking Fund 

Shares) to provide for the use of 

‘‘Custom Baskets’’ consistent with the 

exemptive relief issued pursuant to the 

Investment Company Act of 1940 

(‘‘Investment Company Act’’) applicable 

to a series of Tracking Fund Shares. The 

text of the proposed rule change is 

provided in Exhibit 5. 

The text of the proposed rule change 

is also available on the Exchange’s 

website (http://markets.cboe.com/us/ 

equities/regulation/rule_filings/bzx/), at 

the Exchange’s Office of the Secretary, 

and at the Commission’s Public 

Reference Room. 

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

In its filing with the Commission, the 

Exchange included statements 

concerning the purpose of and basis for 

the proposed rule change and discussed 

any comments it received on the 

proposed rule change. The text of these 

statements may be examined at the 

places specified in Item IV below. The 

Exchange has prepared summaries, set 

forth in sections A, B, and C below, of 

the most significant aspects of such 

statements. 

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

1. Purpose 

The Exchange proposes to amend 

Rule 14.11(m) (Tracking Fund Shares) 3

to provide for the use of ‘‘Custom 

Baskets’’ consistent with the exemptive 

relief issued pursuant to the Investment 

Company Act 4 applicable to a series of 

Tracking Fund Shares. 

To effectuate this change, the 

Exchange proposes the following 

amendments to Rule 14.11(m). First, the 

proposed rule change adopts new 

subparagraph (F) under Rule 

14.11(m)(3) (Definitions), which defines 

‘‘Custom Basket’’, for the purposes of 

Rule 14.11(m), to mean a portfolio of 

securities that is different from the 

Tracking Basket and is otherwise 

consistent with the exemptive relief 

issued pursuant to the Investment 

Company Act applicable to a series of 

Tracking Fund Shares. The proposed 

rule change makes conforming 

amendments to the definition of 

Tracking Fund Shares in Rule 

14.11(m)(3)(A) and Reporting Authority 

in Rule 14.11(m)(3)(C). The proposed 

rule change amends the definition of 

‘‘Tracking Fund Share’’ in Rule 

14.11(m)(3)(A) to provide for creations 

of shares in return for a deposit by the 

purchaser of, and redemptions of shares 

at a holder’s request in return for, a 

Custom Basket rather than a Tracking 

Basket to the extent permitted by a 

fund’s exemptive relief. In addition, the 

proposed rule change amends the 

definition of ‘‘Reporting Authority’’ in 

respect of a particular series of Tracking 

Fund Shares in Rule 14.11(m)(3)(C) to 

provide for Custom Baskets to the extent 

permitted by a fund’s exemptive relief. 

Currently, ‘‘Reporting Authority’’ in 

respect of a particular series of Tracking 

Fund Shares means the Exchange, an 

institution, or a reporting service 

designated by the Exchange or by the 

exchange that lists a particular series of 

Tracking Fund Shares (if the Exchange 

is trading such series pursuant to 

unlisted trading privileges) as the 

official source for calculating and 

reporting information relating to such 

series, including, but not limited to, the 

Tracking Basket; the Fund Portfolio; the 

amount of any cash distribution to 

holders of Tracking Fund Shares, net 

asset value, or other information relating 

to the issuance, redemption or trading of 

Tracking Fund Shares. Rule 

14.11(m)(3)(C) further provides that a 

series of Tracking Fund Shares may 

have more than one Reporting 

Authority, each having different 

functions. The proposed rule change 

adds ‘‘Custom Basket’’ to the nonexclusive list of information relating to 

Tracking Fund Shares that a Reporting 

Authority calculates and reports, i.e., 

including, but not limited to, the 

Tracking Basket; the Fund Portfolio; the 

amount of any cash distribution to 

holders of Tracking Fund Shares, net 

asset value, or other information relating 

to the issuance, redemption or trading of 

Tracking Fund Shares. 

Second, the proposed rule change 

amends Rule 14.11(m)(4) (Initial and 

Continued Listing), which currently 

provides criteria that Tracking Fund 

Shares must satisfy for initial and 

continued listing on the Exchange, to 

incorporate specific initial and 

continued listing criteria for Custom 

Baskets. Specifically, Rule 

14.11(m)(4)(A)(ii) currently provides 

that the Exchange will obtain a 

representation from the issuer of each 

series of Tracking Fund Shares that the 

net asset value per share for the series 

will be calculated daily and that each of 

the following will be made available to 

all market participants at the same time 

when disclosed: the net asset value, the

5 17 CFR 243.100–243.103. Regulation Fair 

Disclosure provides that whenever an issuer, or any 

person acting on its behalf, discloses material 

nonpublic information regarding that issuer or its 

securities to certain individuals or entities— 

generally, securities market professionals, such as 

stock analysts, or holders of the issuer’s securities 

who may well trade on the basis of the 

information—the issuer must make public 

disclosure of that information. 

6The proposed rule change also delineates each 

of the three representation requirements, as 

proposed, as (a) through (c) within the text of Rule 

14.11(m)(4)(A)(ii) for ease of reading. 

7As a result of the addition of subparagraph 

(4)(B)(ii), the proposed rule change also updates the 

subsequent numbering of current subparagraphs 

(4)(b)(ii), (4)(b)(iii), (4)(b)(iv), (4)(b)(v) and (4)(b)(vi) 

to (4)(b)(iii), (4)(b)(iv) (4)(b)(v), (4)(b)(vi) and 

(4)(b)(vii) respectively.

10 Id. 

Tracking Basket, and the Fund Portfolio. 

The proposed rule change adopts an 

additional requirement in Rule 

14.11(m)(4)(A)(ii) providing that the 

Exchange will also obtain a 

representation from the issuer of each 

series of Tracking Fund Shares that the 

issuer and any person acting on behalf 

of the series of Tracking Fund Shares 

will comply with Regulation Fair 

Disclosure under the Securities 

Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Exchange 

Act’’) 5, including with respect to any 

Custom Basket.6

Third, the proposed Rule change 

adopts new Rule 14.11(m)(4)(B)(ii), 

which provides that, with respect to 

each Custom Basket utilized by a series 

of Tracking Fund Shares, each business 

day, before the opening of trading in 

Regular Trading Hours (as defined in 

Rule 1.5(w)), the investment company 

shall make publicly available on its 

website the composition of any Custom 

Basket transacted on the previous 

business day, except a Custom Basket 

that differs from the applicable Tracking 

Basket only with respect to cash.7

Finally, the proposed rule change 

makes conforming amendments to Rule 

14.11(m)(2)(E) and (F). In particular, 

Rule 14.11(m)(2)(E) currently provides 

that, if the investment adviser to the 

Investment Company issuing Tracking 

Fund Shares is registered as a brokerdealer or is affiliated with a brokerdealer, such investment adviser will 

erect and maintain a ‘‘fire wall’’ 

between the investment adviser and 

personnel of the broker-dealer or brokerdealer affiliate, as applicable, with 

respect to access to information 

concerning the composition of and/or 

changes to the Fund Portfolio and/or the 

Tracking Basket. Any person related to 

the investment adviser or Investment 

Company who makes decisions 

pertaining to the Investment Company’s 

Fund Portfolio and/or the Tracking 

Basket or has access to nonpublic 

information regarding the Fund 

Portfolio and/or the Tracking Basket or 

changes thereto must be subject to 

procedures designed to prevent the use 

and dissemination of material 

nonpublic information regarding the 

Fund Portfolio and/or the Tracking 

Basket or changes thereto. The proposed 

rule change amends 14.11(m)(2)(E) to 

provide for Custom Baskets to the extent 

permitted by a fund’s exemptive relief. 

As proposed, Rule 14.11(m)(2)(E) 

provides that if the investment adviser 

to the Investment Company issuing 

Tracking Fund Shares is registered as a 

broker-dealer or is affiliated with a 

broker-dealer, such investment adviser 

will erect and maintain a ‘‘fire wall’’ 

between the investment adviser and 

personnel of the broker-dealer or brokerdealer affiliate, as applicable, with 

respect to access to information 

concerning the composition of and/or 

changes to the Fund Portfolio, the 

Tracking Basket, and/or the Custom 

Basket, as applicable. In addition, 

proposed Rule 14.11(m)(2)(E) provides 

that any person related to the 

investment adviser or Investment 

Company who makes decisions 

pertaining to the Investment Company’s 

Fund Portfolio, the Tracking Basket, 

and/or the Custom Basket or has access 

to nonpublic information regarding the 

Fund Portfolio, the Tracking Basket, 

and/or the Custom Basket, as applicable, 

or changes thereto must be subject to 

procedures designed to prevent the use 

and dissemination of material 

nonpublic information regarding the 

Fund Portfolio, the Tracking Basket, 

and/or the Custom Basket, as applicable, 

or changes thereto. 

Rule 14.11(m)(2)(F) currently 

provides that any person or entity, 

including a custodian, Reporting 

Authority, distributor, or administrator, 

who has access to nonpublic 

information regarding the Fund 

Portfolio or the Tracking Basket or 

changes thereto, must be subject to 

procedures designed to prevent the use 

and dissemination of material 

nonpublic information regarding the 

applicable Fund Portfolio or the 

Tracking Basket or changes thereto. 

Moreover, if any such person or entity 

is registered as a broker-dealer or 

affiliated with a broker-dealer, such 

person or entity will erect and maintain 

a ‘‘fire wall’’ between the person or 

entity and the broker-dealer with 

respect to access to information 

concerning the composition and/or 

changes to such Fund Portfolio or 

Tracking Basket. The proposed rule 

change similarly amends Rule 

14.11(m)(2)(F) to provide for Custom 

Baskets to the extent permitted by a 

fund’s exemptive relief. As proposed, 

Rule 14.11(m)(2)(F) provides that any 

person or entity, including a custodian, 

Reporting Authority, distributor, or 

administrator, who has access to 

nonpublic information regarding the 

Fund Portfolio, the Tracking Basket, or 

the Custom Basket, as applicable, or 

changes thereto, must be subject to 

procedures designed to prevent the use 

and dissemination of material 

nonpublic information regarding the 

applicable Fund Portfolio, the Tracking 

Basket, or the Custom Basket, as 

applicable, or changes thereto. 

Moreover, if any such person or entity 

is registered as a broker-dealer or 

affiliated with a broker-dealer, such 

person or entity will erect and maintain 

a ‘‘fire wall’’ between the person or 

entity and the broker-dealer with 

respect to access to information 

concerning the composition and/or 

changes to such Fund Portfolio, 

Tracking Basket, or Custom Basket, as 

applicable. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The Exchange believes the proposed 

rule change is consistent with the 

Exchange Act and the rules and 

regulations thereunder applicable to the 

Exchange and, in particular, the 

requirements of Section 6(b) of the 

Exchange Act.8 Specifically, the 

Exchange believes the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Section 

6(b)(5) 9 requirements that the rules of 

an exchange be designed to prevent 

fraudulent and manipulative acts and 

practices, to promote just and equitable 

principles of trade, to foster cooperation 

and coordination with persons engaged 

in regulating, clearing, settling, 

processing information with respect to, 

and facilitating transactions in 

securities, to remove impediments to 

and perfect the mechanism of a free and 

open market and a national market 

system, and, in general, to protect 

investors and the public interest. 

Additionally, the Exchange believes the 

proposed rule change is consistent with 

the Section 6(b)(5) 10 requirement that 

the rules of an exchange not be designed 

to permit unfair discrimination between 

customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers. 

In particular, the Exchange believes 

that proposed rule change to provide for 

the use of Custom Baskets consistent 

with the applicable exemptive relief 

applicable to a series of Tracking Fund 

Shares will perfect the mechanism of a 

free and open market and, in general, to 

protect investors and the public interest 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
45794 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 155 / Monday, August 16, 2021 / Notices 

in that it will permit use of Custom 

Baskets, consistent with the applicable 

exemptive relief, in a manner that will 

benefit investors by increasing 

efficiencies in the creation and 

redemption process. More specifically, 

Custom Baskets provide an issuer with 

flexibility in portfolio construction that 

may assist in reducing taxable capital 

gains distributions for investors and 

may generally improve tax efficiencies. 

Further, the use of Custom Baskets, to 

the extent permitted by a fund’s 

exemptive relief, may also result in 

narrower bid/ask spreads and smaller 

premiums and discounts to the net asset 

value for Tracking Fund Shares to the 

extent that the Investment Company 

utilizes Custom Baskets with fewer 

securities which may, in turn, allow 

Authorized Participants to more 

efficiently hedge and participate 

generally in the Tracking Fund Shares. 

In addition to this, the flexibility 

provided in the creation of Custom 

Baskets may serve to increase 

competition between issuers. The 

Exchange believes the proposed rule 

change will enhance competition among 

market participants overall, to the 

benefit of investors and the marketplace. 

The Exchange also believes that 

amending Rule 14.11(m) to incorporate 

specific initial listing criteria required to 

be met by Tracking Fund Shares that 

utilize Custom Baskets is designed to 

prevent fraudulent and manipulative 

acts and practices. The Exchange 

believes that the daily dissemination of 

the composition of any Custom Basket 

transacted on the previous day, except 

a Custom Basket that differs from the 

applicable Tracking Basket only with 

respect to cash, together with the right 

of Authorized Participants to create and 

redeem each day at the net asset value, 

will enable market participants to value 

and trade shares in a manner that will 

not lead to significant deviations 

between the bid/ask price and net asset 

value of shares of a series of Tracking 

Fund Shares. Further, including Custom 

Baskets in the requirements of Rules 

14.11(m)(2)(E) and (F) would act as a 

safeguard against any misuse and 

improper dissemination of nonpublic 

information related to a fund’s Custom 

Basket or changes thereto. The 

requirement that any person or entity 

implement procedures reasonably 

designed to prevent the use and 

dissemination of material non-public 

information regarding a Custom Basket 

will act to prevent any individual or 

entity from sharing such information 

externally and the internal ‘‘fire wall’’ 

requirements applicable where an entity 

is a registered broker-dealer or affiliated 

with a broker-dealer will act to make 

sure that no entity will be able to misuse 

the data for their own purposes. As 

such, the Exchange believes that the 

proposed rule change to Rule 14.11(m) 

is designed to prevent fraudulent and 

manipulative acts and practices. 

The Exchange also believes that the 

proposed initial and continued listing 

standards are designed to promote 

disclosure and transparency with 

respect to the use of Custom Baskets 

consistent with the applicable 

exemptive relief. Specifically, the 

Exchange believes that requiring as an 

initial listing condition that an issuer 

and any person acting on behalf of the 

series of Tracking Fund Shares comply 

with Regulation Fair Disclosure under 

the Exchange Act, including with 

respect to any Custom Basket, would 

further the full and fair disclosure 

objectives of Regulation Fair Disclosure 

to the benefit of the investing public and 

all market participants. Further, with 

respect to each Custom Basket utilized 

by a series of Tracking Fund Shares, the 

Exchange believes that requiring, as a 

continued listing condition, that each 

business day, before the opening of 

trading in Regular Trading Hours (as 

defined in Rule 1.5(w)), an investment 

company make publicly available on its 

website the composition of any Custom 

Basket transacted on the previous 

business day, except a Custom Basket 

that differs from the applicable Tracking 

Basket only with respect to cash, also 

furthers the goals of transparency and 

full and fair disclosure, to the benefit of 

investors and the public interest. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

The Exchange does not believe that 

the proposed rule change will impose 

any burden on competition that is not 

necessary or appropriate in furtherance 

of the purposes of the Exchange Act. 

The Exchange believes the proposed 

rule change, by permitting the use of 

Custom Baskets, consistent with a 

fund’s exemptive relief, would 

introduce additional competition among 

various ETF products to the benefit of 

investors. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

The Exchange neither solicited nor 

received comments on the proposed 

rule change. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

Within 45 days of the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register or within such longer period 

up to 90 days (i) as the Commission may 

designate if it finds such longer period 

to be appropriate and publishes its 

reasons for so finding or (ii) as to which 

the Exchange consents, the Commission 

will: 

A. By order approve or disapprove 

such proposed rule change, or 

B. institute proceedings to determine 

whether the proposed rule change 

should be disapproved. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments

submit written data, views, and 

arguments concerning the foregoing, 

including whether the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Exchange
