CSSF SFDR Precontractual and Periodic Questionnaire

This resource collection is designed to streamline the process of gathering data required for SFDR precontractual and periodic disclosures as mandated by the CSSF (Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier). It provides a structured format for collecting key sustainability-related information about financial products before client contracts are finalized. The questionnaire covers essential SFDR data points, making it easier for financial institutions to compile and organize the necessary information efficiently. By using this template, firms can ensure they capture all required data in a consistent format, simplifying compliance with SFDR reporting requirements.

Findel UBO Questionnaire

The Findel UBO Declaration Template is a standardized form designed to collect and document Ultimate Beneficial Ownership information in compliance with EU AML regulations, particularly the Luxembourg AML Law of 12 November 2004 as amended. This template provides a structured approach to gathering essential information about company ownership, control structures, and beneficial owners.

Standardised SICAV Prospectus Template

This dynamic prospectus template transforms how fund documentation is created, used and managed. Its approach is adopted by UCITS funds representing over EUR 1 trillion in AUM. This iteration has been designed for the Luxembourg asset management community; if you would like a version tailored to a different jurisdiction, please contact the working group behind this prospectus by clicking the "Who can we contact if we have queries" button at the foot of this page. The template addresses the growing complexity of fund compliance documentation while providing the potential for significant benefits in usability (internal and external), cost efficiency, reviewing/updating time, regulatory approval time and risk management. The template includes "golden source" modules — language for key fund and risk information that is both marketing-grade and legally sufficient, so the same language can be used in the prospectus and in marketing and other fund documents. The template is based on a market-leading approach developed by the streamlined communications firm More Carrot. The formatting, structure and content of this approach have been reviewed and approved by hundreds of professionals in the asset management industry, including in the legal, compliance, product, operations, governance and regulatory areas.
