In plain English

The SEC is extending Rule 31a-2, which requires investment companies and fund managers to provide information the agency needs to oversee their operations and protect investors. If you manage an investment fund or similar company, review what information the SEC requires you to submit and when, since these rules directly affect your reporting requirements.
