(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations prescribe the requirements which a collective investment scheme must satisfy if it is to be a recognised scheme under section 264 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (and can therefore be marketed in the United Kingdom in accordance with section 238). The requirements are set out in regulation 3. Regulation 4 prescribes the documents which must accompany a notice given to the Financial Services Authority by the operator of a collective investment scheme which is seeking to be a recognised scheme.
