FCA-TR16/3: Meeting investors' expectations

April 7, 2016--We are reporting the findings of our thematic review that considered how firms ensure they manage funds and segregated mandates as they say they will. We also considered how firms monitor the appropriate distribution of their funds.

In our Business Plan 2015/16, we said we would be conducting a thematic review to assess whether UK authorised investment funds and segregated mandates are operated in line with investors' expectations as set by marketing and disclosure material, and investment mandates.

ESMA publishes Discussion Paper on UCITS share classes

April 6, 2016--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has today published a discussion paper on UCITS share classes (the DP).

The Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS) Directive recognises the possibility for UCITS to offer different share classes to investors but it does not prescribe whether, and to what extent, share classes of a given UCITS can differ from one another.
