There are a number of pending regulations that can have a potential impact on the exchange-traded fund marketplace.

They are also reviewing a number of different actively managed non-transparent structures, and that simply means that if you want to offer active management you wouldn’t have to disclose your portfolio holdings completely from one day to the next.
