Revocation of the Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (Contractual Scheme) Regulations 2013 is Postponed

The Financial Services and Markets Act 2023 (Commencement No. 3) (Amendment) Regulations 2023 were made on August 25, 2023, postponing the revocation of the Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (Contractual Scheme) Regulations 2013.

The Commencement No. 3 Regulations amend the Financial Services and Markets Act 2023 (Commencement No. 1) Regulations 2023, which were made on July 10, 2023 and provide for the entry into force of certain provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2023 (which we discuss in our client note, A Boost for UK Financial Services: The UK Financial Services and Markets Act 2023). This included provisions revoking retained EU legislation relating to financial services, including the CITS Regulations. The CITS Regulations establish a fund vehicle for the U.K. investment management industry which makes U.K. domiciled funds for collective investment in transferable securities more competitive. The CITS Regulations will now be revoked on a day appointed by the Treasury in a later instrument.
