Rule 30e-1 prescribes the minimum
content of report to shareholders that management investment
companies must send at least semi-annually. There is no required
format for these reports. Proposed amendments to Forms N-1A, N-2,
and N-3 would require management investment companies to: (1)
include a tabular or graphic presentation of a fund's portfolio
holdings by identifiable categories, (2) disclose fund expenses
borne by shareholders during the reporting period in reports to
shareholders; and (3) Require a mutual fund to include Management's
Discussion of Fund Performance in its annual report
