UCITS Funds Training

Date: 12-Oct-15 to 12-Oct-15
Location: Central London / London / United Kingdom
Category: Education

This highly practical 1 day course covers the whole UCITS framework with a particular focus on the latest developments in UCITS funds. The European Commission has issued the UCITS V Directive, which has a major impact on managers and depositaries in terms of renumeration and reporting requirements. All these changes will be covered in detail.

This one day workshop is intended to provide staff with the appropriate knowledge and skills to set up and manage UCITS funds. The course assumes limited previous knowledge of funds. All aspects of UCITS fund management and operations are covered with particular emphasis on high risk areas in operations. The programme includes many case studies on pricing errors, investment breaches, failures of risk controls and failures of fund governance. We will also examine in more detail particular concerns of the regulators when reviewing fund managers to help you become fully aware of all the compliance requirements.

By the end of this course you will have a solid understanding of:

- The key characteristics of UCITS, their structure and objectives
- The main regulatory aspects and the differences in setting up funds in the UK, Ireland and Luxembourg
- How to structure UCITS
- The main changes under UCITS V
- The necessary documentation required
- The main parties involved and their role
