To print this article, all you need is to be registered or login on Mondaq.com.
The regulatory landscape for UK funds is beginning to shift. In
its Spring 2020 Budget, the UK government stated that it will
"undertake a review of the UK's funds regime during 2020.
This will cover direct and indirect tax, as well as relevant areas
of regulation, with a view to considering the case for policy
changes".
Brought together to discuss the merits and functionality of the
proposed Professional Investor Fund or "PIF", our panel
members have been actively involved in lobbying for the new
product, with many in the funds industry
welcoming the government's statement. The PIF aims to
fill a gap in the UK's fund offering for professional
investors in comparison to that offered by international
competitors.
