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
