The Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) issued an exemption notice permitting Collective Investment Scheme managers to invest in actively managed exchange-traded funds. This regulatory update amends Board Notice 90 of 2014 by waiving specific constraints that previously restricted CIS portfolios to passive, index-tracking instruments. The exemption enforces mandatory disclosure of active management differences and excludes synthetic derivatives to safeguard investors while broadening the domestic investment universe.
