The Overseas Funds Regime and Individually Recognised Schemes

Practice Notes

The Financial Services Act 2021 (FSA 2021) introduced a new overseas funds regime (OFR) for the recognition of non-UK retail funds, including EU undertakings for collective investment in transferable securities (UCITS) and money market funds (MMFs), for marketing to the general public in the UK, including retail investors. The framework, which opened to applications from overseas funds on 30 September 2024, replaced the previous recognised schemes regime (that is, section 264 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA 2000) relating to UCITS schemes), and now operates alongside FSMA 2000, s 272 (individually recognised schemes), as amended by FSA 2021.
