SEC Extends Compliance Deadline for Names Rule, Affecting ESG and Thematic Funds

The SEC has granted a six-month extension for compliance with the amended Investment Company Act “Names Rule,” which ensures fund investments align with their advertised ESG or sustainability strategies.

  • Larger funds (>$1 billion in net assets) must comply by June 11, 2026.

  • Smaller funds (<$1 billion in assets) have until December 11, 2026.

This phased approach aims to reduce operational costs. The Names Rule requires that at least 80% of a fund’s investments align with its stated objectives, such as ESG or sustainability themes.
