COLLECTIVE INVESTMENT SCHEME MANAGERS: DRAFT CONDUCT STANDARD OUT FOR COMMENT

The Financial Sector Conduct Authority has called for input by 16 February 2024 on a draft conduct standard for collective investment scheme managers. Informed by recommendations in the IMF’s 2022 financial sector investment programme report, the standard is proposed as a temporary measure pending the enactment and commencement of a Conduct of Financial Institutions Bill apparently still being developed.

Against that backdrop, the document spells out a raft of requirements to be met by collective investment scheme managers in the context of:

  • business principles
  • governance and control (including risk management, compliance and internal auditing)
  • portfolio development
  • prospectus contents
  • the appointment of a trustee, fiduciary or custodian, and
  • trade execution and related party transactions.
