Management company of a collective investment scheme

What is a management company?

A management company is a legal person that manages one or more collective investment schemes.

Prohibition

No company may manage a collective investment scheme in the Netherlands unless it has a licence for this purpose or a statutory exception applies. The Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (Autoriteit Financiële Markten) is the body that issues licences to companies to act as management companies of collective investment schemes. For more information about this, please refer to www.afm.nl. As part of its prudential supervision, De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) monitors compliance by management companies of Netherlands-based collective investment schemes with the provisions of the Wft and related secondary legislation.

Single licence

Where a company acts as manager of an undertaking for collective investments in transferable securities (UCITS), units may be offered in another Member State.
