Purpose

COLL 7.1.3GRP

  1. (1)

    This chapter helps to achieve the statutory objective of protecting investors by ensuring the authorised fund manager does not sell5 or redeem units at a price that cannot be calculated accurately. For instance, due to unforeseen circumstances, it may be impossible to value, or to dispose of and obtain payment for, all or some of the scheme property of an authorised fund or sub-fund. COLL 7.2.-3R, COLL 7.2.-2R, COLL 7.2.-1R, and5 COLL 7.2.1 R set5 out the circumstances in which an authorised fund manager must or may suspend dealings5 in units and the manner in which a suspension takes effect.

  2. (2)

    This chapter also helps with the statutory objective of protecting consumers, by providing a cost effective and fair means of winding up authorised funds and terminating sub-funds of ICVCs3, AUTs and co-ownership schemes3. EG 141(Collective investment schemes) deals with the FCA's powers to revoke the authorisation of authorised funds otherwise than by consent.

  3. (3)

    6This chapter also helps to achieve the statutory objectives of protecting consumers and protecting and enhancing the integrity of the UK financial system, by enabling unitholders or potential unitholders in a UCITS scheme or non-UCITS retail scheme with affected investments to continue to deal in units representing assets held in the scheme property that are not affected investments.
