SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-53182; File No. SR-NASD-2005-135]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc.; Order Approving a Proposed Rule Change Relating to the
Status of Former Registered Persons Serving in the Armed Forces of the
United States

January 26, 2006.

I. Introduction

    On November 15, 2005, the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. (``NASD'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'')\1\ and Rule 19b-4
thereunder,\2\ a proposal to amend NASD IM-1000-2 to toll the two-year
expiration provisions for qualification examination requirements set
forth in NASD Rules 1021(c), 1031(c), and 1041(c) for certain former
registered persons serving in the Armed Forces of the United States,
including persons who commence their active military duty within two
years after they have ceased to be registered with a member and persons
who terminate their registration with a member while on active military
duty. The proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal
Register on December 27, 2005.\3\ The Commission received one comment
letter on the proposal.\4\ This order approves the proposed rule
change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 52979 (December 19,
2005), 70 FR 76483.
    \4\ See e-mail from John C. Vallier dated January 18, 2006. The
comment narrowly addresses the commenter's personal situation as a
registered person serving in the Armed Forces of the United States
and does not directly address the subject of this proposal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposal

    The filing proposes to amend NASD IM-1000-2 to toll the ``two-year
licensing expiration provisions'' for a person previously registered
with a member who commences his active military duty within two years
after he has ceased to be registered with the member. Under the
proposal, the tolling would start on the date such person enters active
military service and would terminate 90 days following the person's
completion of active service in the Armed Forces of the United States.
The proposal requires that NASD be properly notified of the person's
period of active military service within 90 days following his
completion of active service or upon his re-registration with a member,
whichever occurs first. The proposal also provides that if such person
does not re-register with a member within 90 days following his
completion of active service in the Armed Forces of the United States,
the amount of time in which the person must become re-registered with a
member without being subject to the ``two-year licensing expiration
provisions'' will consist of the standard two-year period reduced by
the period of time between the person's termination of registration and
beginning of active service in the Armed Forces of the United States.
    In addition, NASD is proposing to amend NASD IM-1000-2 to toll the
``two-year licensing expiration provisions'' for a person placed upon
``inactive'' status pursuant to NASD IM-1000-2 who while serving in the
Armed Forces of the United States ceases to be registered with a
member.\5\ Under the proposal, the tolling would start on the date such
person ceases to be registered with the member and would terminate 90
days following the person's completion of active service in the Armed
Forces of the United States. The proposal requires that NASD be
properly notified of the person's period of active military service
within two years following his completion of active service or upon his
re-registration with a member, whichever occurs first. NASD is
proposing to toll the ``two-year licensing expiration provisions'' for
such persons based on available information in the Central Registration
Depository (CRD) regarding their active military status. The proposal
further provides that if such person does not re-

register with a member within 90 days following his completion of
active service in the Armed Forces of the United States, the person
would have 90 days plus two years following the end of the person's
active service in the Armed Forces of the United States to become re-
registered with a member.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Persons on ``inactive'' status due to active military duty
who do not cease their registration with a member while serving in
the Armed Forces of the United States are not subject to the ``two-
year licensing expiration provisions'' because they are considered
registered for purposes of NASD Rules. See NASD IM-1000-2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Discussion

    After careful consideration, the Commission finds that the proposed
rule change is consistent with the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder applicable to a national securities association.\6\
Specifically, the Commission believes that the proposal is consistent
with Section 15A(b)(6) of the Act \7\ in that it is designed to prevent
fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, and, in general, to protect investors
and the public interest. The Commission believes that the proposed rule
change provides appropriate tailored relief to persons actively serving
in the Armed Forces of the United States by tolling the ``two-year
licensing expiration provisions'' in a manner consistent with the goals
of investor protection and market integrity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission has
considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-3(b)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\8\ that the proposed rule change (SR-NASD-2005-135) is approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation,
pursuant to delegated authority.\9\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on
Amendment No. 3 from interested persons, and is approving the proposed
rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 3, on an accelerated basis.

II. The Exchange's Description of the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization
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 those 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 parts of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to list and trade shares (``Shares'') of the
following under NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E, which governs the listing and
trading of Managed Fund Shares \5\ on the Exchange: JPMorgan Income
Builder Blend ETF (the ``Fund'').\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ A Managed Fund Share is a security that represents an
interest in an investment company registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1) (``1940 Act'') organized as an
open-end investment company or similar entity that invests in a
portfolio of securities selected by its investment adviser
consistent with its investment objectives and policies. In contrast,
an open-end investment company that issues Investment Company Units,
listed and traded on the Exchange under NYSE Arca Rule 5.2-E(j)(3),
seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the
price and yield performance of a specific foreign or domestic stock
index, fixed income securities index or combination thereof.
    \6\ The Trust is registered under the 1940 Act. On July 31,
2018, the Trust filed with the Commission an amendment to its
registration statement on Form N-1A under the Securities Act of 1933
(15 U.S.C. 77a) (``Securities Act'') and the 1940 Act relating to
the Fund (File Nos. 333-191837 and 811-22903) (the ``Registration
Statement''). The description of the operation of the Trust and the
Fund herein is based, in part, on the Registration Statement. The
Trust will file an amendment to the Registration Statement as
necessary to conform to representations in this filing. In addition,
the Commission has issued an order granting certain exemptive relief
to the Trust under the 1940 Act. See Investment Company Act Release
No. 31990 (February 9, 2016) (``Exemptive Order''). Investments made
by the Fund will comply with the conditions set forth in the
Exemptive Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Fund is a series of J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Fund Trust
(``Trust''), a Delaware statutory trust. J.P. Morgan Investment
Management Inc. (``Adviser'' or ``Administrator'') will be the
investment adviser to the Fund and also provide administrative services
for and oversee the other service providers for the Fund. The Adviser
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Asset Management Holdings
Inc., which is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase &
Co., a bank holding company. JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc.
(``Distributor'') will be the distributor of the Fund's Shares.
    Commentary .06 to Rule 8.600-E provides that, if the investment
adviser to the investment company issuing Managed Fund Shares is
affiliated with a broker-dealer, such investment adviser shall erect
and maintain a ``fire wall'' between the investment adviser and the
broker-dealer with respect to access to information concerning the
composition and/or changes to such investment company portfolio.\7\ In
addition, Commentary .06 further requires that personnel who make
decisions on the open-end fund's portfolio composition must be subject
to procedures designed to prevent the use and dissemination of material
nonpublic information regarding the open-end fund's portfolio. The
Adviser is not registered as a broker-dealer but is affiliated with a
broker-dealer and has implemented and will maintain a fire wall with
respect to such broker-dealer affiliate regarding access to information
concerning the composition and/or changes to the portfolio. In the
event (a) the Adviser becomes registered as a broker-dealer or newly
affiliated with one or more broker-dealers, or (b) any new adviser or
sub-adviser is a registered broker-dealer or becomes affiliated with a
broker-dealer, it will implement and maintain a fire wall with respect
to its relevant personnel or its broker-dealer affiliate regarding
access to information concerning the composition and/or changes to the
portfolio, and will be subject to procedures designed to prevent the
use and dissemination of material non-public information regarding such
portfolio.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ An investment adviser to an open-end fund is required to be
registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the ``Advisers
Act''). As a result, the Adviser and its related personnel are
subject to the provisions of Rule 204A-1 under the Advisers Act
relating to codes of ethics. This Rule requires investment advisers
to adopt a code of ethics that reflects the fiduciary nature of the
relationship to clients as well as compliance with other applicable
securities laws. Accordingly, procedures designed to prevent the
communication and misuse of non-public information by an investment
adviser must be consistent with Rule 204A-1 under the Advisers Act.
In addition, Rule 206(4)-7 under the Advisers Act makes it unlawful
for an investment adviser to provide investment advice to clients
unless such investment adviser has (i) adopted and implemented
written policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent
violation, by the investment adviser and its supervised persons, of
the Advisers Act and the Commission rules adopted thereunder; (ii)
implemented, at a minimum, an annual review regarding the adequacy
of the policies and procedures established pursuant to subparagraph
(i) above and the effectiveness of their implementation; and (iii)
designated an individual (who is a supervised person) responsible
for administering the policies and procedures adopted under
subparagraph (i) above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

JPMorgan Income Builder Blend ETF
    According to the Registration Statement, the Fund seeks to maximize
income on a risk-adjusted basis as the primary objective, while
maintaining prospects for capital appreciation as a secondary
objective. The Adviser will buy and sell securities and other
investments for the Fund based on the Adviser's view of strategies,
sectors, and overall portfolio construction taking into account income
generation, risk/return analyses, and relative value considerations.
    Under normal market conditions,\8\ the Fund may invest in the fixed
income securities, equity securities, derivative instruments and other
financial instruments described below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ The term ``normal market conditions'' is defined in NYSE
Arca Rule 8.600-E(c)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Fund may invest in the following ``Fixed Income Instruments'':
\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ Other than ``Private ABS/MBS, which will not meet the

discussed below, all Fixed Income Instruments would meet the generic
criteria of Rule 8.600-E, Comm. .01(b).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Treasury Receipts; \12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ Treasury Receipts are interests in separately traded

that are issued by banks or brokerage firms and that are created by
depositing U.S. Treasury notes and U.S. Treasury bonds into a
special account at a custodian bank. Receipts include Treasury
Receipts (``TRs''), Treasury Investment Growth Receipts (``TIGRs''),
and Certificates of Accrual on Treasury Securities (``CATS'').

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Trust preferred securities;
     Zero-coupon, pay-in-kind and deferred payment securities;
\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

securities that have interest payable by delivery of additional
securities. Deferred payment securities are zero-coupon debt
securities which convert on a specified date to interest bearing
debt securities.

     Synthetic variable rate instruments; \14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ Synthetic variable rate instruments are instruments that
generally involve the deposit of a long-term tax exempt bond in a

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ For purposes of this filing, non-agency ABS are
collateralized bond obligations (``CBOs''), collateralized loan
obligations (``CLOs''), and other collateralized debt obligations
(``CDOs'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ For purposes of this filing, non-agency MBS are
collateralized mortgage obligations (``CMOs''); commercial mortgage-
backed securities (``CMBS''); residential mortgage-backed securities
(``RMBS''); and principal-only (PO) and interest-only (IO) stripped
MBS. Non-agency ABS and non-agency MBS are referred to herein as
``Private ABS/MBS.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Stripped MBS; \17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ Stripped MBS are derivative multi-class mortgage securities
which are usually structured with two classes of shares that receive
different proportions of the interest and principal from a pool of
mortgage assets. These include IO and PO securities issued outside a
Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit (``REMIC'') or CMO
structure.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Custodial receipts; \18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ The Fund may acquire securities in the form of custodial

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Sovereign obligations and obligations of supranational
agencies;
     Corporate debt securities of U.S. and foreign issuers; and
     Convertible securities.
    The Fund may hold cash and cash equivalents.\21\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ For purposes of this filing, cash equivalents include the
securities included in Commentary .01(c) to NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Fund may purchase and sell securities on a when-issued, delayed
delivery, or forward commitment basis.
    The Fund may invest in private placements, restricted securities
and Rule 144A securities.
    The Fund may invest in the following exchange-listed equity
securities: U.S. and foreign exchange-listed common stocks of U.S. and
foreign corporations, U.S. and foreign exchange-listed preferred stocks
of U.S. and foreign corporations, U.S. and foreign exchange-listed
warrants of U.S. and foreign corporations, U.S. and foreign exchange-
listed rights of U.S. and foreign corporations, U.S. and foreign
exchange-listed master limited partnerships (``MLPs''), U.S. and

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \22\ Depositary Receipts include American Depositary Receipts
(``ADRs''), Global Depositary Receipts (``GDRs'') and European
Depositary Receipts (``EDRs''). ADRs are receipts typically issued
by an American bank or trust company that evidence ownership of
underlying securities issued by a foreign corporation. EDRs are
receipts issued by a European bank or trust company evidencing
ownership of securities issued by a foreign corporation. GDRs are
receipts issued throughout the world that evidence a similar
arrangement. ADRs, EDRs and GDRs may trade in foreign currencies
that differ from the currency the underlying security for each ADR,
EDR or GDR principally trades in. Generally, ADRs, in registered
form, are designed for use in the U.S. securities markets. EDRs, in
registered form, are used to access European markets. GDRs, in
registered form, are tradable both in the United States and in
Europe and are designed for use throughout the world. No more than
10% of the equity weight of the Fund's portfolio will be invested in
non-exchange-traded ADRs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Fund may hold exchange-traded funds (``ETFs''),\23\ and U.S.
exchange-traded closed-end funds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \23\ For purposes of this filing, ``ETFs'' are Investment
Company Units (as described in NYSE Arca Rule 5.2-E(j)(3));
Portfolio Depositary Receipts (as described in NYSE Arca Rule 8.100-
E); and Managed Fund Shares (as described in NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-
E). All ETFs will be listed and traded in the U.S. on a national
securities exchange. While the Fund may invest in inverse ETFs, the
Fund will not invest in leveraged (e.g., 2X, -2X, 3X or -3X) ETFs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Fund may invest in securities of non-exchange-traded investment
company securities, subject to applicable limitations under Section
12(d)(1) of the 1940 Act.
    The Fund may hold over-the-counter (``OTC'') equity-related
structured investments.\24\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \24\ An equity-related structured investment is a security
having a return tied to an underlying index or other security or
asset class. Equity-related structured investments generally are
individually negotiated agreements and may be traded OTC. Structured
investments are organized and operated to restructure the investment
characteristics of the underlying index, currency, commodity or
financial instrument. OTC equity-related structured investments are
OTC rights, OTC warrants and OTC equity-linked notes. As discussed
below, OTC equity-related structured investments will not meet
generic criteria of 8.600-E, Comm. .01(a).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Fund may hold the following U.S. and foreign exchange-listed
and OTC derivative instruments: OTC foreign currency forwards; U.S. and
foreign exchange-listed futures and options on stocks, Fixed Income
Instruments, interest rates, credit, currencies, commodities or related
indices; and OTC options on stocks, Fixed Income Instruments, interest
rates, credit, currencies, commodities or related indices.
    The Fund may invest in exchange-traded or OTC total return swaps on
U.S. and foreign equities, U.S. and foreign equity indices, currencies,
interest rates, inflation, commodities, Fixed Income Instruments and
Fixed Income Instruments indexes.
    The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions which involve
strategies used to hedge against currency risks, for other risk
management purposes or to increase income or gain to the Fund. These
strategies may consist of use of any of the following: Options on
currencies, currency futures, options on such futures, forward foreign
currency transactions (including non-deliverable forwards (``NDFs'')),
forward rate agreements, spot currency transactions, and currency
swaps, caps and floors.
    The Fund may hold exchange-traded or non-exchange-traded contingent
value rights (``CVRs'').\25\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \25\ For purposes of this filing, CVRs are rights provided to
shareholders of a company in connection with a corporate
restructuring or acquisition. These rights relate to additional
benefits to shareholders if a certain event occurs. CVRs frequently
have an expiration date relating to the times that contingent events
must occur. CVRs related to a company's stock are generally related
to the price performance of such stock. The Adviser represents that
the Fund will not actively invest in such securities but may, at
times, receive a distribution of such securities in connection with
the Fund's holdings in other securities. Therefore, the Fund's
holdings in non-exchange-traded CVRs, if any, would not be utilized
to further the Fund's investment objective and would not be acquired
as the result of the Fund's voluntary investment decisions.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Fund may engage in short sales of any financial instruments in
which it may invest.
    The Fund will not invest in securities or other financial
instruments that have not been described in this proposed rule change.
Other Restrictions
    The Fund may invest up to 20% of the Fund's assets in non-exchange-
traded investment company securities.
    The Fund may invest up to 15% of the Fund's assets in the aggregate
in OTC equity-linked notes, OTC rights, OTC warrants, and OTC CVRs.
    The Fund's investments, including derivatives, will be consistent
with the Fund's investment objective and will not be used to enhance
leverage (although certain derivatives and other investments may result
in leverage). That is, while the Fund will be permitted to borrow as
permitted under the 1940 Act, the Fund's investments will not be used
to seek performance that is the multiple or inverse multiple (e.g., 2Xs
and 3Xs) of the Fund's primary broad-based securities benchmark index
(as defined in Form N-1A).\26\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \26\ The Fund's broad-based securities benchmark index will be
identified in a future amendment to the Registration Statement
following the Fund's first full calendar year of performance.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Fund's Use of Derivatives
    Investments in derivative instruments will be made in accordance
with the Fund's investment objective and policies.
    To limit the potential risk associated with such transactions, the
Fund will enter into offsetting transactions or segregate or
``earmark'' assets determined to be liquid by the Adviser in accordance
with procedures established by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the
``Board''). In addition, the Fund has included appropriate risk
disclosure in its offering documents, including leveraging risk.
Leveraging risk is the risk that certain transactions of the Fund,
including the Fund's use of derivatives, may give rise to leverage,
causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged.
Creation and Redemption of Shares
    The consideration for a purchase of Creation Units will generally
be cash, but may consist of an in-kind deposit of a designated
portfolio of equity securities and other investments (the ``Deposit
Instruments'') and an amount of cash computed as described below (the
``Cash Amount'') under some circumstances. The Cash Amount together
with the Deposit Instruments, as applicable, are referred to as the
``Portfolio Deposit,'' which represents the minimum initial and
subsequent investment amount for a Creation Unit of the Fund. The size
of a Creation Unit will be 50,000 Shares and will be subject to change.
    In the event the Fund requires Deposit Instruments and a Cash
Amount in consideration for purchasing a Creation Unit, the function of
the Cash Amount is to compensate for any differences between the net
asset value (``NAV'') per Creation Unit and the Deposit Amount (as
defined below). The Cash Amount would be an amount equal to the
difference between the NAV of the Shares (per Creation Unit) and the
``Deposit Amount,'' which is an amount equal to the aggregate market
value of the Deposit Instruments. If the Cash Amount is a positive
number (the NAV per Creation Unit exceeds the Deposit Amount), the
Authorized Participant will deliver the Cash Amount. If the Cash Amount
is a negative number (the NAV per Creation Unit is less than the
Deposit Amount), the Authorized Participant will receive the Cash
Amount. The Administrator, through the National Securities Clearing
Corporation (``NSCC''), will make available on each business day,
immediately prior to the opening of business on the Exchange (currently
9:30 a.m. Eastern time (``E.T.'')), the list of the names and the
required number of shares of each Deposit Instrument to be included in
the current Portfolio Deposit (based on information at the end of the
previous business day), as well as information regarding the Cash
Amount for the Fund.
    The identity and number of the Deposit Instruments and Cash Amount
required for the Portfolio Deposit for the Fund changes as rebalancing
adjustments and corporate action events are reflected from time to time
by the Adviser with a view to the investment objective of the Fund. In
addition, the Trust reserves the right to accept a basket of securities
or cash that differs from Deposit Instruments or to permit the
substitution of an amount of cash (i.e., a ``cash in lieu'' amount) to
be added to the Cash Amount to replace any Deposit Instrument which
may, among other reasons, not be available in sufficient quantity for
delivery, not be permitted to be re-registered in the name of the Trust
as a result of an in-kind creation order pursuant to local law or
market convention or for other reasons as described in the Registration
Statement, or which may not be eligible for trading by a Participating
Party (defined below).
Procedures for Creation of Creation Units
    To be eligible to place orders with the Distributor to create
Creation Units of the Fund, an entity or person either must be (1) a
``Participating Party,'' i.e., a broker-dealer or other participant in
the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of
the NSCC; or (2) a Depositary Trust Company (``DTC'') Participant,
which, in either case, must have executed an agreement with the
Distributor (``Participant Agreement''). Such Participating Party and
DTC Participant are collectively referred to as an ``Authorized
Participant.'' All orders to create Creation Units must be received by
the Distributor no later than the closing time of the regular trading
session on the Exchange (``Closing Time'') (ordinarily 4:00 p.m. E.T.),
in each case on the date such order is placed in order for creation of
Creation Units to be effected based on the NAV of the Fund as
determined on such date.
Redemption of Creation Units
    Shares may be redeemed only in Creation Units at their NAV next
determined after receipt of a redemption request in proper form by the
Distributor, only on a business day and only through a Participating
Party or DTC Participant who has executed a Participant Agreement. All
orders to redeem Creation Units must be received by the Distributor no
later than the Exchange Closing Time (ordinarily 4:00 p.m. E.T.).
    Although the Fund will generally pay redemption proceeds in cash,
there may be instances when it will make redemptions in-kind.\27\ In
these instances, the Administrator, through NSCC, makes available
immediately prior to the opening of business on the Exchange (currently
9:30 a.m. E.T.) on each day that the Exchange is open for business, the
identity of the Fund's assets and/or an amount of cash that will be
applicable (subject to possible amendment or correction) to redemption
requests received in proper form on that day. With respect to
redemptions in-kind, the redemption proceeds for a Creation Unit
generally consist of ``Redemption Instruments'' (which are securities
received on redemption) as announced by the Administrator on the
business day of the request for redemption, plus cash in an amount
equal to the difference between the NAV of the Shares being

redeemed, as next determined after a receipt of a request in proper
form, and the value of the Redemption Instruments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \27\ The Adviser represents that, to the extent the Trust
effects the creation or redemption of Shares in cash, such
transactions will be effected in the same manner for all Authorized
Participants.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosed Portfolio
    The Fund's disclosure of derivative positions in the applicable
Disclosed Portfolio includes information that market participants can
use to value these positions intraday. On a daily basis, the Fund will
disclose the information regarding the Disclosed Portfolio required
under NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E(c)(2) to the extent applicable. The Fund's
website information will be publicly available at no charge.
Impact on Arbitrage Mechanism
    The Adviser believes there will be minimal impact to the arbitrage
mechanism as a result of the use of derivatives. Market makers and
participants should be able to value derivatives as long as the
positions are disclosed with relevant information. The Adviser believes
that the price at which Shares trade will continue to be disciplined by
arbitrage opportunities created by the ability to purchase or redeem
Shares at their NAV, which should ensure that Shares will not trade at
a material discount or premium in relation to their NAV.
    The Adviser does not believe there will be any significant impacts
to the settlement or operational aspects of the Fund's arbitrage
mechanism due to the use of derivatives. Because derivatives generally
are not eligible for in-kind transfer, they will typically be
substituted with a ``cash in lieu'' amount when the Fund processes
purchases or redemptions of creation units in-kind.
Application of Generic Listing Requirements
    The Exchange is submitting this proposed rule change because the
portfolio for the Fund will not meet all of the ``generic'' listing
requirements of Commentary .01 to NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E applicable to
the listing of Managed Fund Shares. The Fund's portfolio would meet all
such requirements except for those set forth in NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E,
Commentary .01(a)(1)(E) and .01(a)(2)(E) regarding OTC equity-linked
notes, OTC rights, OTC warrants, and OTC CVRs; Commentary .01(a)(1)
regarding non-exchange-traded investment company securities; and
Commentary .01(b)(4) \28\ regarding Private ABS/MBS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \28\ Commentary .01(b)(4) provides that component securities
that in the aggregate account for at least 90% of the fixed income
weight of the portfolio must be either: (a) From issuers that are
required to file reports pursuant to Sections 13 and 15(d) of the
Act; (b) from issuers that have a worldwide market value of its
outstanding common equity held by non-affiliates of $700 million or
more; (c) from issuers that have outstanding securities that are
notes, bonds debentures, or evidence of indebtedness having a total
remaining principal amount of at least $1 billion; (d) exempted
securities as defined in Section 3(a)(12) of the Act; or (e) from
issuers that are a government of a foreign country or a political
subdivision of a foreign country.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    With respect to Commentary .01(a)(1)(E) and .01(a)(2)(E) to NYSE
Arca Rule 8.600-E, as noted above, the Fund may hold OTC equity-linked
notes, OTC rights, OTC warrants, and OTC CVRs, which are deemed non-
exchange-traded equity securities for purposes of this filing.\29\
Because such securities are not listed on a national securities
exchange or an exchange that has last-sale reporting, such securities
would not meet the criteria of Commentary .01(a)(1)(E) and (a)(2)(E) to
NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E applicable to U.S. Component Stocks and Non-U.S.
Component Stocks. As noted above, the Fund may invest up to 15% of the
Fund's assets in the aggregate in OTC equity-linked notes, OTC rights,
OTC warrants, and OTC CVRs. The Exchange believes that this limitation
is appropriate in that OTC equity-linked notes, OTC rights, OTC
warrants, and OTC CVRs are providing debt or equity-oriented exposures
or are received in connection with the Fund's previous investment in
fixed income securities or equities. With respect to OTC CVRs, the
Adviser represents that the Fund will not actively invest in such
securities but may, at times, receive a distribution of such securities
in connection with the Fund's holdings in other securities. Therefore,
the Fund's holdings in OTC CVRs, if any, would not be utilized to
further the Fund's investment objective and would not be acquired as
the result of the Fund's voluntary investment decisions.\30\ All of the
other equity securities held by the Fund (with the exception of non-
exchange-traded investment company securities, as discussed below) will
comply with the generic requirements Commentary .01(a)(1) and (a)(2) to
NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \29\ Commentary .01(a) to NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E provides
criteria applicable to exchange-traded equity securities held by a
series of Managed Fund Shares. Among such criteria, equity
securities that are U.S. Component Stocks as described in NYSE Arca
Rule 5-2-E(j)(3) shall be listed on a national securities exchange
and shall be NMS Stocks as defined in Rule 600 of Regulation NMS
under the Act (with a limited exception for certain ADRs). Equity
securities that are Non-U.S. Component Stocks as described in NYSE
Arca Rule 5-2-E(j)(3) shall be listed and traded on an exchange that
has last-sale reporting.
    \30\ The Commission has previously approved listing and trading
of series of Managed Fund Shares that hold OTC equity securities
such as common stocks, rights, warrants and CVRs. See, e.g.,
Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 77904 (May 25, 2016) (SR-
NYSEArca-2016-17) (Notice of Filing of Amendment No. 3 and Order
Granting Accelerated Approval of a Proposed Rule Change, as Modified
by Amendment No. 3, to List and Trade of Shares of the JPMorgan
Diversified Alternative ETF under NYSE Arca Equities Rule 8.600);
79683 (December 23, 2016) (SR-NYSEArca-2016-82) (Order Granting
Approval of a Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment Nos. 1,
2, and 3 Thereto, to List and Trade Shares of the JPMorgan
Diversified Event Driven ETF under NYSE Arca Equities Rule 8.600
82492 (January 12, 2018) (SR-NYSEArca-2017-87) (Order Granting
Approval of a Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment No. 6,
to List and Trade Shares of the JPMorgan Long/Short ETF under NYSE
Arca Rule 8.600-E).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Fund may invest in non-exchange-traded investment company
securities, which are equity securities. Because such securities must
satisfy applicable 1940 Act diversification requirements, and have a
net asset value based on the value of securities and financial assets
the investment company holds, it is both unnecessary and inappropriate
to apply to such investment company securities the criteria in
Commentary .01(a)(1). As noted above, the Fund may invest up to 20% of
the Fund's assets in non-exchange-traded investment company securities.
The Fund's investment in shares of non-exchange-traded open-end
management investment company securities will be utilized in order to
obtain income on short-term cash balances while awaiting attractive
investment opportunities, to provide liquidity in preparation for
anticipated redemptions or for defensive purposes, which will allow the
Fund to obtain the benefits of a more diversified portfolio available
in the shares of non-exchange-traded open-end management investment
company securities than might otherwise be available. Moreover, such
investments, which may include mutual funds that invest, for example,
principally in fixed income securities, would be utilized to help the
Fund meet its investment objective and to equitize cash in the short
term. The Fund will invest in such securities only to the extent that
those investments would be consistent with the requirements of Section
12(d)(1) of the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder.
    The Exchange notes that Commentary .01(a)(1)(A) through (D) to Rule
8.600-E exclude application of those provisions to certain ``Derivative
Securities Products'' that are exchange-traded investment company
securities, including Investment Company Units (as described in NYSE
Arca Rule 5.2-E(j)(3)), Portfolio Depositary Receipts (as

described in NYSE Arca Rule 8.100-E) and Managed Fund Shares (as
described in NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E).\31\ In its 2008 Approval Order
approving amendments to Commentary .01(a) to Rule 5.2(j)(3) that
exclude Derivative Securities Products from certain provisions of
Commentary .01(a) (which exclusions are similar to those in Commentary
.01(a)(1) to Rule 8.600-E), the Commission stated that ``based on the
trading characteristics of Derivative Securities Products, it may be
difficult for component Derivative Securities Products to satisfy
certain quantitative index criteria, such as the minimum market value
and trading volume limitations.'' The Exchange notes that it would be
difficult or impossible to apply to non-exchange-traded investment
company securities the generic quantitative criteria (e.g., market
capitalization, trading volume, or portfolio criteria) in Commentary
.01(a) through (d) applicable to U.S. Component Stocks. For example,
the requirement for U.S. Component Stocks in Commentary .01(a)(1)(B)
that there be minimum monthly trading volume of 250,000 shares, or
minimum notional volume traded per month of $25,000,000, averaged over
the last six months is tailored to exchange-traded securities (e.g.,
U.S. Component Stocks) and not to mutual fund shares, which do not
trade in the secondary market. Moreover, application of such criteria
would not serve its purpose with respect to U.S. Component Stocks,
namely, to establish minimum liquidity and diversification criteria for
U.S. Component Stocks held by series of Managed Fund Shares.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \31\ The Commission initially approved the Exchange's proposed
rule change to exclude ``Derivative Securities Products'' (i.e.,
Investment Company Units and securities described in Section 2 of
Rule 8) and ``Index-Linked Securities (as described in Rule 5.2-
E(j)(6)) from Commentary .01(a)(A)(1) through (4) to Rule 5.2-E(j)(3
in Securities Exchange Act Release No. 57751 (May 1, 2008), 73 FR
25818 (May 7, 2008) (SR-NYSEArca-2008-29) (Order Granting Approval
of a Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment No. 1 Thereto,
to Amend the Eligibility Criteria for Components of an Index
Underlying Investment Company Units) (``2008 Approval Order''). See
also, Securities Exchange Act Release No. 57561 (March 26, 2008), 73
FR 17390 (April 1, 2008) (Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change
and Amendment No. 1 Thereto to Amend the Eligibility Criteria for
Components of an Index Underlying Investment Company Units). The
Commission subsequently approved generic criteria applicable to
listing and trading of Managed Fund Shares, including exclusions for
Derivative Securities Products and Index-Linked Securities in
Commentary .01(a)(1)(A) through (D), in Securities Exchange Act
Release No. 78397 (July 22, 2016), 81 FR 49320 (July 27, 2016)
(Order Granting Approval of Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by
Amendment No. 7 Thereto, Amending NYSE Arca Equities Rule 8.600 To
Adopt Generic Listing Standards for Managed Fund Shares). See also,
Amendment No. 7 to SR-NYSEArca-2015-110, available at https://www.sec.gov/comments/sr-nysearca-2015-110/nysearca2015110-9.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange notes that the Commission has previously approved
listing and trading of an issue of Managed Fund Shares that may invest
in equity securities that are non-exchange-traded securities of other
open-end investment company securities notwithstanding that the fund
would not meet the requirements of Commentary .01(a)(1)(A) through (E)
to Rule 8.600-E with respect to such fund's investments in such
securities.\32\ Thus, the Exchange believes that it is appropriate to
permit the Fund to invest in non-exchange-traded open-end management
investment company securities, as described above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \32\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 83319 (May 24,
2018), 83 FR 25097 (May 31, 2018) (SR-NYSEArca-2018-15) (Order
Approving a Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment No. 1
Thereto, to Continue Listing and Trading Shares of the PGIM Ultra
Short Bond ETF Under NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Fund will not comply with the requirements in Commentary
.01(b)(4) to Rule 8.600-E that component securities that in the
aggregate account for at least 90% of the fixed income weight of the
portfolio meet one of the criteria specified in Commentary .01(b)(4),
because certain Private ABS/MBS by their nature cannot satisfy the
criteria in Commentary .01(b)(4).\33\ Instead, the Exchange proposes
that the Fund's investments in Fixed Income Instruments other than
Private ABS/MBS will be required to comply with the requirements of
Commentary .01(b)(4).\34\ The Exchange believes that excluding Private
ABS/MBS from the 90% calculation in Commentary .01(b)(4) is consistent
with the Act because the Fund's portfolio will minimize the risk to the
overall Fund associated with any particular holding of the Fund as a
result of the diversification provided by the investments and the
Adviser's selection process, which closely monitors investments to
ensure maintenance of credit and liquidity standards. Further, the
Exchange believes that this alternative limitation is appropriate
because Commentary .01(b)(4) to Rule 8.600-E is not designed for
structured finance vehicles such as Private ABS/MBS.\35\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \33\ Private ABS/MBS are generally issued by special purpose
vehicles, so the criteria in Commentary .01(b)(4) to Rule 8.600-E
regarding an issuer's market capitalization and the remaining
principal amount of an issuer's securities are typically unavailable
with respect to Private ABS/MBS, even though such Private ABS/MBS
may own significant assets.
    \34\ Private ABS/MBS will comply with Commentary .01(b)(5),
which provides that non-agency, non-government-sponsored entity
(``GSE'') and privately-issued mortgage-related and other asset-
backed securities components of a portfolio shall not account, in
the aggregate, for more than 20% of the weight of the portfolio.
    \35\ The Commission has previously approved listing on a
national securities exchange of a series of Managed Fund Shares that
principally holds fixed income securities and whose holdings of
securities similar to Private ABS/MBS (as described herein) do not
comply with criteria comparable to those included in Commentary
.01(b)(4) to Rule 8.600-E. See Securities Exchange Act Release No
85701 (April 22, 2019), 84 FR 17902 (April 26, 2019) (SR-CboeBZX-
2019-016) (Notice of Filing of Amendment No. 1 and Order Granting
Accelerated Approval of a Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by
Amendment No. 1, to Allow the JPMorgan Core Plus Bond ETF to Hold
Certain Instruments in a Manner that May Not Comply with Rule
14.11(i), Managed Fund Shares).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange notes that the Commission has previously approved the
listing of Managed Fund Shares with similar investment objectives and
strategies without imposing requirements that a certain percentage of
such funds' securities meet one of the criteria set forth in Commentary
.01(b)(4).\36\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \36\ See, e.g., Exchange Act Release Nos. 67894 (September 20,
2012) 77 FR 59227 (September 26, 2012) (SR-BATS-2012-033) (order
approving the listing and trading of shares of the iShares Short
Maturity Bond Fund); 70342 (September 6, 2013), 78 FR 56256
(September 12, 2013) (SR-NYSEArca-2013-71) (order approving the
listing and trading of shares of the SPDR SSgA Ultra Short Term Bond
ETF, SPDR SSgA Conservative Ultra Short Term Bond ETF and SPDR SSgA
Aggressive Ultra Short Term Bond ETF). See also, Securities Exchange
Act Release Nos. 84047 (September 6, 2018), 83 FR 46200 (September
12, 2018) (SR-NASDAQ-2017-128) (Notice of Filing of Amendment No. 3
and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of a Proposed Rule Change,
as Modified by Amendment No. 3, to List and Trade Shares of the
Western Asset Total Return ETF); 85022 (January 31, 2019), 25 FR
2265 (February 6, 2019) (SR-NASDAQ-2018-080) (Notice of Filing of
Amendment No. 3 and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of a
Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment Nos. 1, 2 and 3, To
List and Trade Shares of the BrandywineGLOBAL--Global Total Return
ETF).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Deviations from the generic requirements are necessary for the Fund
to achieve its investment objective in a manner that is cost-effective
and that maximizes investors' returns. Further, the proposed
alternative requirements are narrowly tailored to allow the Fund to
achieve its investment objective in manner that is consistent with the
principles of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act. As a result, it is in the
public interest to approve listing and trading of Shares of the Fund on
the Exchange pursuant to the requirements set forth herein.
    The Exchange notes that, other than NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E,
Commentary .01(a)(1)(E) and .01(a)(2)(E) regarding OTC equity-linked
notes, OTC rights, OTC warrants, and OTC CVRs; Commentary .01(a)(1)
regarding non-exchange-traded investment company securities; and
Commentary .01(b)(4)

regarding Private ABS/MBS, as described above, the Fund's portfolio
will meet all other requirements of Rule 8.600-E, including the generic
listing requirements in Commentary .01 to Rule 8.600-E.
Availability of Information
    The Fund's website (www.jpmorganfunds.com), which will be publicly
available prior to the public offering of Shares, will include a form
of the prospectus for the Fund that may be downloaded. The Fund's
website will include additional quantitative information updated on a
daily basis, including, for the Fund, (1) daily trading volume, the
prior business day's reported closing price, NAV and mid-point of the
bid/ask spread at the time of calculation of such NAV (the ``Bid/Ask
Price''),\37\ and a calculation of the premium and discount of the Bid/
Ask Price against the NAV, and (2) data in chart format displaying the
frequency distribution of discounts and premiums of the daily Bid/Ask
Price against the NAV, within appropriate ranges, for each of the four
previous calendar quarters. On each business day, before commencement
of trading in Shares in the Core Trading Session on the Exchange, the
Adviser will disclose on the Fund's website the Disclosed Portfolio for
the Fund as defined in NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E(c)(2) that will form the
basis for the Fund's calculation of NAV at the end of the business
day.\38\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \37\ The Bid/Ask Price of the Fund's Shares will be determined
using the mid-point of the highest bid and the lowest offer on the
Exchange as of the time of calculation of the Fund's NAV. The
records relating to Bid/Ask Prices will be retained by the Fund and
its service providers.
    \38\ Under accounting procedures to be followed by the Fund,
trades made on the prior business day (``T'') will be booked and
reflected in NAV on the current business day (``T+1''). Accordingly,
the Fund will be able to disclose at the beginning of the business
day the portfolio that will form the basis for the NAV calculation
at the end of the business day.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Investors can also obtain the Trust's Statement of Additional
Information (``SAI''), the Fund's Shareholder Reports, and its Form N-
CSR and Form N-SAR, filed twice a year. The Trust's SAI and Shareholder
Reports are available free upon request from the Trust, and those
documents and the Form N-CSR and Form N-SAR may be viewed on-screen or
downloaded from the Commission's website at www.sec.gov.
    Quotation and last sale information for the Shares and for
portfolio holdings of the Fund that are U.S. exchange-listed, including
common stocks, preferred stocks, warrants, rights, MLPs, REITs,
convertible securities, ETFs, closed-end funds, and U.S. exchange-
listed Depositary Receipts will be available via the CTA high speed
line. Price information for the following U.S. and foreign exchange-
traded securities and financial instruments will be available from the
exchange on which they are listed: Futures; options on futures; options
other than options on futures; swaps; CVRs, foreign exchange-traded
Depositary Receipts and equity-linked notes. Quotation and last sale
information for exchange-listed options cleared via the Options
Clearing Corporation will be available via the Options Price Reporting
Authority. Quotation and last sale information for foreign exchange-
listed equity securities will be available from the exchanges on which
they trade and from major market data vendors, as applicable.
Information regarding market price and trading volume for the Shares
will be continually available on a real-time basis throughout the day
on brokers' computer screens and other electronic services. Information
regarding the previous day's closing price and trading volume
information for the Shares will be published daily in the financial
section of newspapers.
    Quotation information for OTC options, cash equivalents, swaps, and
Fixed Income Instruments may be obtained from brokers and dealers who
make markets in such securities or through nationally recognized
pricing services through subscription agreements. Forwards and spot
currency price information will be available from major market data
vendors. Price information for non-exchange-traded investment company
securities, OTC equity-linked notes, OTC warrants, OTC rights, OTC
CVRs, OTC Depositary Receipts, 144A securities, private placement
securities and restricted securities is available from major market
data vendors. Price information for certain municipal securities held
by the Fund is available through Electronic Municipal Market Access
(``EMMA'') of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (``MSRB'').
    In addition, the PIV, as defined in NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E(c)(3),
will be widely disseminated by one or more major market data vendors at
least every 15 seconds during the Core Trading Session.\39\ The
dissemination of the PIV, together with the Disclosed Portfolio, will
allow investors to determine the approximate value of the underlying
portfolio of the Fund on a daily basis and will provide a close
estimate of that value throughout the trading day.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \39\ Currently, it is the Exchange's understanding that several
major market data vendors display and/or make widely available PIVs
taken from the CTA or other data feeds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Trading Halts
    With respect to trading halts, the Exchange may consider all
relevant factors in exercising its discretion to halt or suspend
trading in the Shares of the Fund.\40\ Trading in Shares of the Fund
will be halted if the circuit breaker parameters in NYSE Arca Rule
7.12-E have been reached. Trading also may be halted because of market
conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make
trading in the Shares of the Fund inadvisable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \40\ See NYSE Arca Rule 7.12-E.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Trading in the Shares will be subject to NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-
E(d)(2)(D), which sets forth circumstances under which Shares of the
Fund may be halted.
Trading Rules
    The Exchange deems the Shares to be equity securities, thus
rendering trading in the Shares subject to the Exchange's existing
rules governing the trading of equity securities. Shares will trade on
the NYSE Arca Marketplace from 4:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. E.T. in
accordance with NYSE Arca Rule 7.34-E (Early, Core, and Late Trading
Sessions). The Exchange has appropriate rules to facilitate
transactions in the Shares during all trading sessions. As provided in
NYSE Arca Rule 7.6-E, the minimum price variation (``MPV'') for quoting
and entry of orders in equity securities traded on the NYSE Arca
Marketplace is $0.01, with the exception of securities that are priced
less than $1.00 for which the MPV for order entry is $0.0001.
    Except as described herein, the Shares of the Fund will conform to
the initial and continued listing criteria under NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-
E. The Exchange represents that, for initial and/or continued listing,
the Fund will be in compliance with Rule 10A-3 \41\ under the Act, as
provided by NYSE Arca Rule 5.3-E. A minimum of 100,000 Shares of the
Fund will be outstanding at the commencement of trading on the
Exchange. The Exchange will obtain a representation from the issuer of
the Shares of the Fund that the NAV and the Disclosed Portfolio will be
made available to all market participants at the same time.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Surveillance
    The Exchange represents that trading in the Shares will be subject
to the existing trading surveillances administered by the Exchange, as
well as cross-market surveillances

administered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (``FINRA'')
on behalf of the Exchange, which are designed to detect violations of
Exchange rules and applicable federal securities laws.\42\ The Exchange
represents that these procedures are adequate to properly monitor
Exchange trading of the Shares in all trading sessions and to deter and
detect violations of Exchange rules and applicable federal securities
laws.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \42\ FINRA conducts cross-market surveillances on behalf of the
Exchange pursuant to a regulatory services agreement. The Exchange
is responsible for FINRA's performance under this regulatory
services agreement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The surveillances referred to above generally focus on detecting
securities trading outside their normal patterns, which could be
indicative of manipulative or other violative activity. When such
situations are detected, surveillance analysis follows and
investigations are opened, where appropriate, to review the behavior of
all relevant parties for all relevant trading violations.
    The Exchange or FINRA, on behalf of the Exchange, or both, will
communicate as needed regarding trading in the Shares, certain
exchange-listed equity securities, certain futures, and certain
exchange-traded options with other markets and other entities that are
members of the Intermarket Surveillance Group (``ISG''), and the
Exchange or FINRA, on behalf of the Exchange, or both, may obtain
trading information regarding trading such securities and financial
instruments from such markets and other entities. In addition, the
Exchange may obtain information and communicate as needed regarding
trading in such securities and financial instruments from markets and
other entities with which the Exchange has in place a comprehensive
surveillance sharing agreement.\43\ FINRA, on behalf of the Exchange,
is able to access, as needed, trade information for certain fixed
income securities held by the Fund reported to FINRA's Trade Reporting
and Compliance Engine (``TRACE'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \43\ For a list of the current members of ISG, see
www.isgportal.org. The Exchange notes that not all components of the
Disclosed Portfolio for the Fund may trade on markets that are
members of ISG or with which the Exchange has in place a
comprehensive surveillance sharing agreement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, the Exchange also has a general policy prohibiting the
distribution of material, non-public information by its employees.
    All statements and representations made in this filing regarding
(a) the description of the portfolio holdings or reference asset, (b)
limitations on portfolio holdings or reference assets, or (c) the
applicability of Exchange listing rules specified in this rule filing
shall constitute continued listing requirements for listing the Shares
on the Exchange.
    The issuer has represented to the Exchange that it will advise the
Exchange of any failure by the Fund to comply with the continued
listing requirements, and, pursuant to its obligations under Section
19(g)(1) of the Act, the Exchange will monitor for compliance with the
continued listing requirements. If the Fund is not in compliance with
the applicable listing requirements, the Exchange will commence
delisting procedures under NYSE Arca Rule 5.5-E(m).
Information Bulletin
    Prior to the commencement of trading, the Exchange will inform its
Equity Trading Permit (``ETP'') Holders in an Information Bulletin
(``Bulletin'') of the special characteristics and risks associated with
trading the Shares of the Fund. Specifically, the Bulletin will discuss
the following: (1) The procedures for purchases and redemptions of
Shares in Creation Units (and that Shares are not individually
redeemable); (2) NYSE Arca 9.2-E(a), which imposes a duty of due
diligence on its ETP Holders to learn the essential facts relating to
every customer prior to trading the Shares; (3) the risks involved in
trading the Shares during the Early and Late Trading Sessions when an
updated PIV will not be calculated or publicly disseminated; (4) how
information regarding the PIV and the Disclosed Portfolio is
disseminated; (5) the requirement that ETP Holders deliver a prospectus
to investors purchasing newly issued Shares prior to or concurrently
with the confirmation of a transaction; and (6) trading information.
    In addition, the Bulletin will reference that the Fund is subject
to various fees and expenses described in the Registration Statement.
The Bulletin will discuss any exemptive, no-action, and interpretive
relief granted by the Commission from any rules under the Act. The
Bulletin will also disclose that the NAV for the Shares of the Fund
will be calculated after 4:00 p.m. E.T. each trading day.
2. Statutory Basis
    The basis under the Act for this proposed rule change is the
requirement under Section 6(b)(5) \44\ that an exchange have rules that
are designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices,
to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to remove
impediments to, and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market
and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \44\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is designed to
prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices in that the
Shares will be listed and traded on the Exchange pursuant to the
initial and continued listing criteria in NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E. The
Adviser is not registered as a broker-dealer but is affiliated with a
broker-dealer and has implemented and will maintain a fire wall with
respect to such broker-dealer affiliate regarding access to information
concerning the composition and/or changes to the portfolio. The
Exchange represents that trading in the Shares will be subject to the
existing trading surveillances administered by the Exchange, as well as
cross-market surveillances administered by FINRA on behalf of the
Exchange, which are designed to detect violations of Exchange rules and
applicable federal securities laws. The Exchange represents that these
procedures are adequate to properly monitor Exchange trading of the
Shares in all trading sessions and to deter and detect violations of
Exchange rules and applicable federal securities laws. The Exchange or
FINRA, on behalf of the Exchange, or both, will communicate as needed
regarding trading in the Shares, certain exchange-listed equity
securities, certain futures, and certain exchange-traded options with
other markets and other entities that are members of the ISG, and the
Exchange or FINRA, on behalf of the Exchange, or both, may obtain
trading information regarding trading such securities and financial
instruments from such markets and other entities. In addition, the
Exchange may obtain information regarding trading in such securities
and financial instruments from markets and other entities that are
members of ISG or with which the Exchange has in place a comprehensive
surveillance sharing agreement. FINRA, on behalf of the Exchange, is
able to access, as needed, trade information for certain fixed income
securities held by the Fund reported to FINRA's TRACE.
    The PIV, as defined in NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E (c)(3), will be
widely disseminated by one or more major market data vendors at least
every 15 seconds during the Core Trading Session. The Fund may hold up
to an aggregate amount of 15% of its net assets in illiquid assets
(calculated at the time of investment), deemed illiquid

by the Adviser, consistent with Commission guidance.
    Except as described herein, the Shares of the Fund will conform to
the initial and continued listing criteria under NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-
E. The Exchange represents that, for initial and/or continued listing,
the Fund will be in compliance with Rule 10A-3 under the Act, as
provided by NYSE Arca Rule 5.3-E. A minimum of 100,000 Shares of the
Fund will be outstanding at the commencement of trading on the
Exchange. The Exchange will obtain a representation from the issuer of
the Shares of the Fund that the NAV per Share will be calculated daily
and that the NAV and the Disclosed Portfolio will be made available to
all market participants at the same time. In addition, a large amount
of information is publicly available regarding the Fund and the Shares,
thereby promoting market transparency. The Fund's portfolio holdings
will be disclosed on its website daily after the close of trading on
the Exchange and prior to the opening of trading on the Exchange the
following day. On a daily basis, the Fund will disclose the information
regarding the Disclosed Portfolio required under NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E
(c)(2) to the extent applicable. The Fund's website information will be
publicly available at no charge.
    Investors can also obtain the Trust's SAI, the Fund's Shareholder
Reports, and its Form N-CSR and Form N-SAR, filed twice a year. The
Trust's SAI and Shareholder Reports are available free upon request
from the Trust, and those documents and the Form N-CSR and Form N-SAR
may be viewed on-screen or downloaded from the Commission's website at
www.sec.gov.
    The website for the Fund will include a form of the prospectus for
the Fund and additional data relating to NAV and other applicable
quantitative information. Moreover, prior to the commencement of
trading, the Exchange will inform its ETP Holders in an Information
Bulletin of the special characteristics and risks associated with
trading the Shares of the Fund. Trading in Shares of the Fund will be
halted if the circuit breaker parameters in NYSE Arca Rule 7.12-E have
been reached or because of market conditions or for reasons that, in
the view of the Exchange, make trading in the Shares inadvisable, and
trading in the Shares will be subject to NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-
E(d)(2)(D), which sets forth circumstances under which Shares of the
Fund may be halted. In addition, as noted above, investors will have
ready access to information regarding the Fund's holdings, the PIV, the
Disclosed Portfolio, and quotation and last sale information for the
Shares. The Fund's investments, including derivatives, will be
consistent with the Fund's investment objective and will not be used to
enhance leverage (although certain derivatives and other investments
may result in leverage). That is, while the Fund will be permitted to
borrow as permitted under the 1940 Act, the Fund's investments will not
be used to seek performance that is the multiple or inverse multiple
(e.g., 2Xs and 3Xs) of the Fund's primary broad-based securities
benchmark index (as defined in Form N-1A).
    With respect to the Fund's investment in Private ABS/MBS, the
proposed non-compliance with the requirements in Commentary .01(b)(4)
to Rule 8.600-E that component securities that in the aggregate account
for at least 90% of the fixed income weight of the portfolio meet one
of the criteria specified in Commentary .01(b)(4) is appropriate
because certain Private ABS/MBS by their nature cannot satisfy the
criteria in Commentary .01(b)(4). Instead, the Exchange proposes that
the Fund's investments in Fixed Income Instruments other than Private
ABS/MBS will be required to comply with the requirements of Commentary
.01(b)(4), and Private ABS/MBS will be limited to 20% of the Fund's
portfolio. The Exchange believes that excluding Private ABS/MBS from
the 90% calculation in Commentary .01(b)(4) is consistent with the Act
because the Fund's portfolio will minimize the risk to the overall Fund
associated with any particular holding of the Fund as a result of the
diversification provided by the investments and the Adviser's selection
process, which closely monitors investments to ensure maintenance of
credit and liquidity standards. Further, the Exchange believes that
this alternative limitation is appropriate because Commentary .01(b)(4)
to Rule 8.600-E is not designed for structured finance vehicles such as
Private ABS/MBS.
    The Exchange notes that the Commission has previously approved the
listing of Managed Fund Shares with similar investment objectives and
strategies without imposing requirements that a certain percentage of
such funds' securities meet one of the criteria set forth in Commentary
.01(b)(4).\45\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \45\ See note 37 [sic], supra.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Fund may invest in shares of non-exchange-traded open-end
management investment company securities, which are equity securities.
Therefore, the Fund will not comply with the requirements of Commentary
.01(a)(1) to NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E (U.S. Component Stocks) with
respect to its holdings in such equity securities. It is appropriate
and in the public interest to approve listing and trading of Shares of
the Fund notwithstanding that the Fund's holdings in such securities
would not meet the requirements of Commentary .01(a)(1)(A) through (E)
to Rule 8.600-E. The Fund's investment in non-exchange-traded open-end
management investment company securities will not exceed 20% of the
Fund's assets. The Fund's investment in shares of non-exchange-traded
open-end management investment company securities will be utilized in
order to obtain income on short-term cash balances while awaiting
attractive investment opportunities, to provide liquidity in
preparation for anticipated redemptions or for defensive purposes,
which will allow the Fund to obtain the benefits of a more diversified
portfolio available in the shares of non-exchange-traded open-end
management investment company securities than might otherwise be
available. Moreover, such investments, which may include mutual funds
that invest, for example, principally in fixed income securities, would
be utilized to help the Fund meet its investment objective and to
equitize cash in the short term. The Fund will invest in such
securities only to the extent that those investments would be
consistent with the requirements of Section 12(d)(1) of the 1940 Act
and the rules thereunder. Because such securities must satisfy
applicable 1940 Act diversification requirements, and have a net asset
value based on the value of securities and financial assets the
investment company holds, it is both unnecessary and inappropriate to
apply to such investment company securities the criteria in Commentary
.01(a)(1).
    The Exchange notes that it would be difficult or impossible to
apply to mutual fund shares certain of the generic quantitative
criteria (e.g., market capitalization, trading volume, or portfolio
criteria) in Commentary .01 (A) through (D) applicable to U.S.
Component Stocks. For example, the requirements for U.S. Component
Stocks in Commentary .01(a)(1)(B) that there be minimum monthly trading
volume of 250,000 shares, or minimum notional volume traded per month
of $25,000,000, averaged over the last six months are tailored to
exchange-traded securities (i.e., U.S. Component Stocks) and not to
mutual fund shares, which do not trade in the secondary market

and for which no such volume information is reported. In addition,
Commentary .01(a)(1)(A) relating to minimum market value of portfolio
component stocks, Commentary .01(a)(1)(C) relating to weighting of
portfolio component stocks, and Commentary .01(a)(1)(D) relating to
minimum number of portfolio components are not appropriately applied to
open-end management investment company securities; open-end investment
companies hold multiple individual securities as disclosed publicly in
accordance with the 1940 Act, and application of Commentary
.01(a)(1)(A) through (D) would not serve the purposes served with
respect to U.S. Component Stocks, namely, to establish minimum
liquidity and diversification criteria for U.S. Component Stocks held
by series of Managed Fund Shares.
    To the extent the Fund invests in OTC equity-linked notes, OTC
rights, OTC warrants, and OTC CVRs, the Fund will not comply with the
requirements of Commentary .01(a)(1)(E) and .01(a)(2)(E. with respect
to its holdings in such equity securities. As noted above, the Fund may
invest up to 15% of the Fund's assets in the aggregate in OTC equity-
linked notes, OTC rights, OTC warrants, and OTC CVRs. The Exchange
believes that this limitation is appropriate in that OTC warrants, OTC
rights, OTC equity-linked notes, and OTC CVRs are providing debt or
equity-oriented exposures or are received in connection with the Fund's
previous investment in fixed income securities or equities. All of the
other equity securities held by the Fund will comply with the
requirements of Commentary .01(a)(1)(E) and (a)(2)(E) to NYSE Arca Rule
8.600-E. With respect to OTC CVRs, the Adviser represents that the Fund
will not actively invest in such securities but may, at times, receive
a distribution of such securities in connection with the Fund's
holdings in other securities. Therefore, the Fund's holdings in OTC
CVRs, if any, would not be utilized to further the Fund's investment
objective and would not be acquired as the result of the Fund's
voluntary investment decisions.
    The Exchange accordingly believes that it is appropriate and in the
public interest to approve listing and trading of Shares of the Fund on
the Exchange notwithstanding that certain investments of the Fund would
not meet the requirements of Commentary .01(a) and (b)(4) to Rule
8.600-E, as discussed above. The Exchange notes that, other than NYSE
Arca Rule 8.600-E, Commentary .01(a)(1)(E) and .01(a)(2)(E) regarding
OTC equity-linked notes, OTC rights, OTC warrants, and OTC CVRs;
Commentary .01(a)(1) regarding non-exchange-traded investment company
securities; and Commentary .01(b)(4) regarding Private ABS/MBS, as
described above, the Fund's portfolio will meet all other requirements
of Rule 8.600-E, including the generic listing requirements in
Commentary .01 to Rule 8.600-E.
    The proposed rule change is designed to perfect the mechanism of a
free and open market and, in general, to protect investors and the
public interest in that it will facilitate the listing and trading of
an additional type of actively-managed exchange-traded product that
that holds fixed income securities, equity securities and derivatives
and that will enhance competition among market participants, to the
benefit of investors and the marketplace. As noted above, the Exchange
has in place surveillance procedures relating to trading in the Shares
of the Fund and may obtain information via ISG from other exchanges
that are members of ISG or with which the Exchange has entered into a
comprehensive surveillance sharing agreement. In addition, as noted
above, investors will have ready access to information regarding the
Fund's holdings, the PIV, the Disclosed Portfolio for the Fund, and
quotation and last sale information for the Shares of the Fund.

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 purpose of the Act. The Exchange notes that the
proposed rule change will facilitate the listing and trading of an
additional type of actively-managed exchange-traded product that holds
fixed income securities, equity securities and derivatives and that
will enhance competition among market participants, to the benefit of
investors and the marketplace.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

III. Discussion and Commission's Findings

    After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change, as modified by Amendment No. 3, is consistent with the Act and
the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national
securities exchange.\46\ In particular, the Commission finds that the
proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 3, is consistent
with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\47\ which requires, among other
things, that the Exchange's rules be designed to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \46\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission has
considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \47\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    According to the Exchange, other than Commentary .01(a)(1)(E) and
.01(a)(2)(E) relating to OTC equity-linked notes, OTC rights, OTC
warrants, and OTC CVRs; Commentary .01(a)(1) relating to non-exchange-
traded investment company securities; and Commentary .01(b)(4) relating
to Private ABS/MBS, as described above, the Fund will meet all other
requirements of Rule 8.600-E.
    The Fund's investments in OTC equity-linked notes, OTC rights, OTC
warrants, and OTC CVRs will not comply with either Commentary
.01(a)(1)(E) to Rule 8.600-E, which requires the U.S. Component Stocks
in the portfolio to be listed on a national securities exchange and to
be NMS Stocks, or Commentary .01(a)(2)(E) to Rule 8.600-E, which
requires the Non-U.S. Component Stocks in the portfolio to be listed
and traded on an exchange with last sale reporting. As proposed, the
Fund may invest up to 15% of the Fund's assets in the aggregate in OTC
equity-linked notes, OTC rights, OTC warrants, and OTC CVRs. The
Exchange represents that the Fund will not actively invest in OTC CVRs
but may, at times, receive a distribution of such securities in
connection with the Fund's holdings in other securities. The Commission
believes that the low level of investment by the Fund in such
securities, i.e., no more than 15% of the Fund's net assets, is not
likely to make the Shares materially more susceptible to fraudulent or
manipulative acts and practices.
    With respect to the Fund's investments in shares of non-exchange-
traded open-end management investment company securities, which will
not comply with Commentary .01(a)(1) to Rule 8.600-E, the Commission
notes that: (1) Such securities must satisfy applicable 1940 Act
diversification requirements; and (2)

the value of such securities is based on the value of securities and
financial assets held by those investment companies.\48\ The Commission
therefore believes that the Fund's investments in non-exchange-traded
open-end management investment company securities would not make the
Shares susceptible to fraudulent or manipulative acts and practices.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \48\ See supra Section II.C (Application of Generic Listing
Standards).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, while the Fund will not meet the requirement that
component securities that in the aggregate account for at least 90% of
the fixed income weight of the portfolio meet one of the criteria set
forth in in Commentary .01(b)(4) to Rule 8.600-E, the Commission
believes that the diversification of the Fund's portfolio, the
limitation of Private ABS/MBS holdings to 20% of the weight of the
portfolio, and the fact that the fixed income portion of the portfolio,
excluding Private ABS/MBS, will comply with Commentary .01(b)(4),
mitigate manipulation concerns relating to the Shares.
    The Exchange represents that all statements and representations
made in the filing regarding (a) the description of the portfolio
holdings or reference assets, (b) limitations on portfolio holdings or
reference assets, or (c) the applicability of Exchange listing rules
specified in the rule filing constitute continued listing requirements
for listing the Shares on the Exchange. In addition, the issuer has
represented to the Exchange that it will advise the Exchange of any
failure by the Fund to comply with the continued listing requirements,
and, pursuant to its obligations under Section 19(g)(1) of the Act, the
Exchange will monitor \49\ for compliance with the continued listing
requirements. If the Fund is not in compliance with the applicable
listing requirements, the Exchange will commence delisting procedures
under NYSE Arca Rule 5.5-E(m).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \49\ The Commission notes that certain proposals for the listing
and trading of exchange-traded products include a representation
that the exchange will ``surveil'' for compliance with the continued
listing requirements. See, e.g., Securities Exchange Act Release No.
77499 (April 1, 2016), 81 FR 20428, 20432 (April 7, 2016) (SR-BATS-
2016-04). In the context of this representation, it is the
Commission's view that ``monitor'' and ``surveil'' both mean ongoing
oversight of compliance with the continued listing requirements.
Therefore, the Commission does not view ``monitor'' as a more or
less stringent obligation than ``surveil'' with respect to the
continued listing requirements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the foregoing reasons, the Commission finds that the proposed
rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 3, is consistent with Section
6(b)(5) of the Act \50\ and the rules and regulations thereunder
applicable to a national securities exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \50\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

V. Accelerated Approval of Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by
Amendment No. 3

    The Commission finds good cause to approve the proposed rule
change, as modified by Amendment No. 3, prior to the thirtieth day
after the date of publication of notice of the filing of Amendment No.
3 in the Federal Register. The Commission notes that Amendment No. 3
clarified the permitted investments of the Fund and the application of
NYSE Arca Rule 8.600-E, Commentary .01 to the Fund's investments.
Amendment No. 3 also provided other clarifications and additional
information to the proposed rule change. The changes and additional
information in Amendment No. 3 assist the Commission in evaluating the
Exchange's proposal and in determining that it is consistent with the
Act. Accordingly, the Commission finds good cause, pursuant to Section
19(b)(2) of the Act,\51\ to approve the proposed rule change, as
modified by Amendment No. 3, on an accelerated basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \51\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

VI. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\52\ that the proposed rule change (SR-NYSEArca-2019-36), as
modified by Amendment No. 3 be, and hereby is, approved on an
accelerated basis.
