SEC Delays ETF Decision…kind of...

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has decided to delay making a decision on whether to approve an ETF proposed by Direxion until September (see link below).

*Direxion’s ETF is the one effected. However, the ETF proposed by the CBOE is still on track for mid-August. It’s important to note, there are multiple ETF’s being proposed.

It reads, in part, “the Commission, ... designates September 21, 2018, as the date by which the Commission shall either approve or disapprove the proposed rule change.”
