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 recognising non-UK retail investment 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 new framework replaces the previous recognised schemes regime (ie, s 264 (UCITS schemes)), and applies alongside the amended s 272 (individually recognised schemes) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA 2000), as amended by FSA 2021.
