SYSC 19C.3.34GRP

SYSC 19C.3.47RRP

PERG 9.4.4GRP
Analysing a typical corporate structure in terms of the definition of a collective investment scheme, money will be paid to the body corporate in exchange for shares or securities issued by it. The body corporate becomes the beneficial owner of that money in exchange for rights against the legal entity that is the body corporate. The body corporate then has its own duties and rights that are distinct from those of the holders of its shares or securities. Such arrangements will,
PERG 9.4.6GRP
In the FCA's view, the question of what constitutes a single scheme in line with section 235(4) of the Act does not arise in relation to a body corporate. This is simply because the body corporate is itself a collective investment scheme (and so is a single scheme). Section 235(4) contemplates a 'separate' pooling of parts of the property that is subject to the arrangements referred to in section 235(1). But to analyse a body corporate in this way requires looking through its

PERG 9.7.3GRP
The reasonable investor is a hypothetical investor. The implications of this are that the test does not relate to actual investment by a particular person at a particular time or in relation to a particular issue of any class of shares or securities. In the FCA's view, what underlies the test is what a reasonable investor would think he was getting into if he were contemplating investment in a particular body corporate. In addition, because the investor is hypothetical, the investment

3The Premium Listing Principles are as follows:

Premium Listing Principle 1

A listed company must take reasonable steps to enable its directors to understand their responsibilities and obligations as directors.

Premium Listing Principle 2

A listed company must act with integrity towards the holders and potential holders of its premium listedsecurities5.

Premium Listing Principle 3

All equity shares in a class that has been admitted to premium listing must carry an equal number of votes on any shareholder vote. In respect of certificates representing shares that have been admitted to premium listing, all the equity shares of the class which the certificates represent must carry an equal number of votes on any shareholder vote.5

Premium Listing Principle 4

Where a listed company has more than one class of securities admitted5 to premium listing, the aggregate voting rights of the securities5 in each class should be broadly proportionate to the relative interests of those classes in the equity of the listed company.

Premium Listing Principle 5

A listed company must ensure that it treats all holders of the same class of its premium listedsecurities and its5listedequity shares that are in the same position equally in respect of the rights attaching to those premium listedsecurities and5listedequity shares.

Premium Listing Principle 6

A listed company must communicate information to holders and potential holders of its premium listedsecurities and its5listedequity shares in such a way as to avoid the creation or continuation6 of a false market in those premium listedsecurities and5listedequity shares.

LR 7.2.4GRP
