Another of ICI’s key missions is to promote public understand- ing of funds and their investors. To that end, we stepped up our outreach to the media and the public. Two key develop- ments were the launch of ICI Viewpoints, a forum providing our commentary on key issues as they emerge, and our increased profile in the broadcast media. Through these and other means, we have achieved some success in informing coverage and shaping opinions on key policy questions. This new level of e ort across so many fronts produced tan- gible results. One remarkable development was the passage of the Regulated Investment Company Modernization.
