In one of the biggest shake-ups of the European investment fund market for almost 20 years, the long-awaited updating of the 1985 Undertaking for Collective Investments in transferable Securities (UCITS) Directive (UCITS I) became effective on 13 February, 2002. On that date, European Directives 2001/107/EC (Management Company Directive) and 2001/108/EC (Product Directive), collectively known as UCITS III, came into force.
UCITS III, a priority of the EU Financial Services Action Plan, is the result of a long and tumultuous process that began in 1991. Frustration and irritation were just a couple of the emotions experienced in a process that saw 10 years of negotiation, the rejection of the European Commission’s (EC’s) UCITS II proposal and culminated in the adoption of the directives.
