Cyprus UCITS Management Companies​

UCITS are considered a safe and transparent investment product due to their liquidity, transparency, risk management and high degree of regulation, which collectively offer increased levels of investor protection and oversight.​

Such authorisation, which is granted as an operation license, is valid in all Member States of the European Union.

The Management Company may start its business as soon as the granting of the operation license is notified to it by CySEC.
