Form N-1A EL Files Dataset

Form N-1A EL filings contain the election by open-end management investment companies to register an indefinite number of securities under Rule 24f-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. This submission type allowed mutual funds to elect indefinite registration rather than specifying a fixed number of shares, streamlining the registration process for continuously offered securities. The SEC discontinued the N-1A EL submission type effective January 1998, when rule amendments made indefinite registration automatic for all open-end funds. The dataset includes all Form N-1A EL and Form N-1A EL/A filings submitted to EDGAR from January 1994 until the form was discontinued in January 1998. Form N-1A EL/A filings represent amendments to previously submitted elections. For each accession number, a metadata file and all documents in the original EDGAR submission are included except image files. Each filing typically contains the name and CIK of the registrant, the election to register an indefinite number of securities under Rule 24f-2, the class or series of securities covered by the election, and any supporting certifications or exhibits required by the applicable SEC rules.
