The Capital Markets Authority of Uganda issued the Collective Investment Schemes (Licensing) Regulations, 2025 to establish a unified licensing framework for collective investment schemes, authorised corporate directors, trustees, and depositories. The Regulations mandate structured application procedures, specify required financial and operational documentation, and set a two-month decision timeline for licence grants or refusals. Licensees must comply with ongoing obligations including displaying their licences, notifying the Authority of material changes or business cessation, and applying for timely renewals while adhering to prescribed fees.
