Standardised SICAV Prospectus Template

Q: Who can we contact if we have queries on the template?

You can send your query to the Template Working Group by selecting the "help dialog" function and creating a new thread.

Q: Who can use the template?

Any entity that has, or is planning to launch, one or more Luxembourg SICAVs. The template can be used for a new SICAV or to replace the prospectus of an existing SICAV, and can be adopted in its entirety or only in part, as desired.

Q: Is there a fee to use the template?

No. The template is available free of charge as an open-source Microsoft Word template. Upon use of the template, or any portion of it, neither GAMS nor any other party except the fund sponsor retains any responsibility for its content, use or distribution.

Q: How are the templates maintained and updated?

Our Template Working Group maintains the template through a defined process that includes updates reflecting changes in regulatory requirements and commercial practices as well as user feedback, which we encourage.

Q: Are there support materials?

A companion user's guide is available, also free of charge. In addition, users will be able access FAQ documents, reference documents, and responses to user questions received by the Template Working Group, as these materials become available based on input from the user community.

Q: Will versions of the template be available for other types of UCITS or for non-UCITS funds?

Depending on demand, the Template Working Group plans to create versions for other fund types, such as FCPs and Part II funds, and for similar UCITS vehicles in Ireland and the UK.

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.
