Sample Instances for the Closed‑End Fund (CEF) 2026 Taxonomy

December, 2025

1          Goal

A set of sample Inline eXtensible Business Reporting Language (iXBRL) format documents (“the Samples”) accompanies the Closed‑End Fund (CEF) Taxonomy Guide. Users should be familiar with the Guide and with the EDGAR XBRL Guide.  The purpose of the Samples is to illustrate the expected use of the taxonomy for the preparation of technically compliant filings for submission to EDGAR.

2          Disclaimer

The Samples are not normative: nothing in this document nor in the samples supersedes any requirement stated in the Guide, the EDGAR XBRL Guide, the EDGAR Filer Manual (EFM), nor any other SEC rule or guidance.  In the event of inconsistencies, the rules, filer manual, and guides take precedence.   Text and tables from live filings have been extracted, combined, and lightly anonymized and are known to have internal mathematical or date inconsistencies.  The files exist only to help the reader visualize better how the tagging may appear in the context of an entire document, and implies no opinion about the source filings, filer, subject company, filing agent, software vendor, or any other party. 

Please direct technical questions to StructuredData (at) sec.gov

3          Samples with CEF Cover Page Tagging

Each folder contains a file params.json that contain parameters that a validator may require to fully validate the instance (see EFM volume 2 version 68 section 6.5.55).
