Post Authorisation for Non-UCITS 

Following authorisation of a collective investment scheme, subsequent changes to a scheme are processed, in the main, by Post Authorisation Section of Funds Authorisation Division. 

A number of forms are available to assist in this process and these are detailed below. 

We aim to issue first comments on any changes to collective investment scheme documentation within 15 working days of receipt.
