Consultations & legislation
01 February 2007
Section 235(1) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA) defines a Collective Investment Scheme (CIS). There is a general prohibition on establishing, operating or winding up a CIS without prior authorization from the Financial Services Authority (FSA) . The Schedule to the FSMA Collective Investment Schemes Order 2001 lists certain cases in which arrangements which would otherwise be considered CISs under Section 235 of FSMA are exempt and can therefore be established without FSA authorisation. This consultation seeks views on proposed amendments to the Order to clarify the application of one of the exemptions to certain types of proprerty transaction. The Government invites comments on the proposals. The consultation closes on 29 March 2007.
