investment trust as to all persons who become shareholders or beneficiaries
after the registration date and prior to its suspension or revocation, if
any, and as to all obligations of the unincorporated trust or association
arising after the effective date of this Act whether they arose before or
after the effective date of registration under Section 5 of the Illinois
Securities Law of 1953, and prior to suspension or revocation of the
registration.
