FT 13276 has successfully secured approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for its new unit investment trust. This approval allows the trust to begin operations and offer its units to the public, marking a significant milestone for the company.

The new trust, known as the Digital World Leaders Opportunity Portfolio, Series 22, aims to invest in a diversified portfolio of common stocks. The primary goal of this trust is to achieve above-average capital appreciation for its investors.

Background

FT 13276 is a unit investment trust organized in Illinois, with its filings managed by First Trust Portfolios L.P. The trust operates under the SEC Act of 1933 and is registered with the SEC under registration number 333-298406. The latest filing was made on October 30, 2026, and it follows a previous filing on August 18, 2026.

What the Filing Says

The SEC filing states, "An indefinite number of Units pursuant to Rule 24f-2 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended." This indicates that the trust can issue units without a predetermined limit, allowing for flexibility in attracting investment.

Impact

The approval of FT 13276's unit investment trust may have implications for both the company and the broader investment trust industry. Investors looking for opportunities in diversified portfolios may find this offering attractive. Additionally, the trust's entry into the market could intensify competition among existing investment trusts.

What's Next

The filing does not specify what happens next, but it is expected that FT 13276 will begin offering its units to the public shortly after the effective date of the registration statement.
