UCITSsäädeltyjä

UCITSsäädeltyjä translates to "UCITS regulated" in English. UCITS is an acronym for Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities. It is a regulatory framework established by the European Union that sets out the rules for investment funds that can be marketed to retail investors across the EU. These rules aim to provide a high level of investor protection and ensure fair competition between fund managers.

Funds that comply with UCITS regulations are known as UCITS funds. They are authorized by national regulators in EU member states and can be sold in any other EU member state under a single authorization. Key aspects of UCITS regulation include strict diversification rules, limits on leverage, requirements for liquidity, and disclosure obligations for fund managers. These measures are designed to limit the risks investors face and ensure transparency.

The UCITS framework is widely recognized internationally as a gold standard for investor protection in collective investment schemes. Many countries outside the EU have adopted similar regulatory principles or recognize UCITS compliance as a mark of quality. Investors holding UCITS funds can be confident that the fund adheres to stringent prudential and conduct rules, promoting a safer investment environment.
