UCITS Funds (transferable securities)
Retail Funds
UCITS funds (Undertakings for the collective investment in transferable securities) are open-ended funds investing in transferable securities such as shares and bonds and are generally referred to as retail type of funds available to the public. As a result, UCITS funds demand greater investor protection and accordingly such type of funds are subject to more stringent regulatory conditions and trading restrictions.
UCITS can be set up as a single fund or as an umbrella fund consisting of multiple compartments, each with a different investment policy. The fund and compartments respectively may have an unlimited number of share classes, depending on the needs of the investors. Under certain conditions, cross-investments between sub-funds are allowed.
The UCITS directive allows a UCITS fund to be passported in all European countries within the limits of its passport rights. Malta has fully transposed the UCITS directive and offers the facility to set up UCITS funds in Malta.
