CIS 6.1 Introduction

In line with the regulatory objective of the protection of consumers, this chapter sets out requirements for a register of Unitholders in an AUT and for plan registers of both ICVCs and AUTs. These requirements are intended to ensure that there is a proper record of the ownership of units, whether held directly or through a savings plan, ISA or PEP.
