CCO Resource Center: Opting Out of a Class Action

Chief Compliance Officer Committee

Opting Out of a Class Action

During a meeting of ICI’s CCO Committee, a member mentioned it had adopted a policy that would govern the process to follow when the fund was asked to opt out of a class action. Other members were interested in seeing this policy so we obtained a copy from the member. To the extent other members adopt similar policies and share them with us, we’ll add those to the current policy that we have.
