COLL 9.2 Section 264 recognised schemes

1The units of an EEA UCITS scheme in respect of which a notification has been transmitted to the FSA by the competent authority of the UCITS Home State in accordance with article 93 of the UCITS Directive may be marketed in the United Kingdom. This is the effect of section 264 (Schemes constituted in other EEA States) read in conjunction with section 238(4)(c) (Restrictions on promotion) of the Act.

Where a management company wishes to market the units of an EEA UCITS scheme it manages, without establishing a branch or providing any other services in the United Kingdom, a management company passport is not required for such marketing activities.

In this Chapter references to an EEA UCITS scheme include its sub-funds.
