Dual-Share-Class ETF Structures: Addressing the Gap Between Asset and Wealth Managers

June 17, 2025

The expected exemptive relief for dual-share-class products is an important evolution and will nudge the industry in the direction of offering more tax-efficient, lower-cost exposures. While asset managers perceive dual-share-class relief as an opportunity to launch ETF products that port a mutual fund's performance track record, wealth managers will need to work through the business and operational complexities involved in offering these products. Cerulli and Nicsa partnered to write a white paper on the implications of the potential approval of the dual-share-class structure. In this webinar, Cerulli and MMI discuss the impact of this critical industry shift as key stakeholders eagerly await SEC approval.
