print(r.json())What is 485APOS?
A fund files a post-effective amendment under Rule 485(a) when the change is material enough that the SEC staff may want to review it, for example a new fund series, a new strategy or a significant change in investment policy. The amendment becomes effective 60 days after filing, or 75 days for a new series of an existing registrant.
That delay makes 485APOS a leading indicator: new mutual funds and ETFs usually appear here two to three months before they launch.
Open-end funds, insurance separate accounts and some unit investment trusts with effective registration statements.
60 days before the amendment should become effective, or 75 days for a new series.
