Passporting of UCITS

A common tool used by UCITS to widen the activities which they are allowed to undertake is passporting.

Passporting of UCITS funds is about the offer of units within a Collective Investment Scheme for subscription throughout the EU and also EEA states. This right is not universal to all fund typologies.  In effect, in the case of Malta-based UCITS funds, such rights are a given.  

The UCITS V Directive caters for a written notification of the intention to market the units of a Malta UCITS fund in another EU member state (or an EEA State) to the MFSA, the financial regulator in Malta. Such a written communication needs to take place prior to any commencement of marketing of the units.
