What does UCITs mean?

UCITS stands for ‘undertakings for collective investment in transferable securities’. The regulatory regime for UCITS is set out in Directive 2009/65/EC (EU UCITS Directive) and Retained Directive 2009/65/EC (UK UCITS Directive). UCITS funds can take a variety of forms and structures including the société d’investissement à capital variable (SICAV) and fond commun de placement (FCP). In the UK, UCITS funds may be organised as an open-ended investment company (OEIC, also known as an ‘investment company with variable capital’ (ICVC)), an authorised unit trust or an authorised contractual scheme (ACS). UCITs can be marketed to retail investors throughout the EEA and UK and are therefore highly regulated products.
