Get a heads up on what we’re releasing soon
Quarterly fund updates report
Our General Stocktake of Quarterly Fund Updates report looks into whether fund managers were meeting their legal requirements to produce updates that are both easy to find and easy to read for investors. Our findings will be published next week.
MIS manager valuation and pricing practices
This report, to be published next month, presents our view of the valuation and pricing practices of Managed Investment Scheme (MIS) interests. Where applicable, we have also commented on practices where there are some opportunities for improvement.
Soft commissions and incentive structures in the insurance industry
In May the soft commissions and incentives report will be published. That will be followed by a report of a thematic review of insurance replacement business practices at QFEs. Later this year we will publish a report into our review of bank incentive structures.
Compliance Assurance Programmes guide
We will soon release a best practice guide for Compliance Assurance Programmes, to assist FMC Act licensees and applicants.
Upcoming consultation
Licensees’ annual declaration and updating standard conditions
We will publish a consultation on a proposal for all licensees to make an annual declaration of compliance as part of their regulatory returns. We want feedback about updating the current standard conditions; and the process for making minor amendments to future regulatory returns.
Length limit exemption for dual-language PDSs
We will be consulting on exemption relief from prescribed length limits for product disclosure statements of issuers who want to include another language. In particular, we are seeking feedback on whether the relief should apply only to English and te reo Māori, or to other languages as well.
