FFFS 2008:11
Regulations governing investment funds
In force from: 23 July 2008
Summary
Explicit requirements have been established regarding which assets companies conducting fund activities are allowed to invest in. Funds that currently use derivative instruments for increasing the efficiency of management will also have the opportunity to do so in order to boost their performance.
In these new regulations, FI also adapts the organisational requirements for companies to coincide with those applying to securities firms. This means, for example, that companies in the fund sector should also have a compliance function, which both provides information on new regulations and monitors compliance.
The EU Directive on eligible assets is imposed through these regulations.
These regulations replace FFFS 2004:2 on investment funds.
