The Financial Regulatory Authority of Egypt issued Board Decision No. (1) of 2021 to amend Decision No. (58) of 2018 regarding licensing rules for banks and non-banking financial companies. The amendment introduces Article Seventh (1/1), permitting open-end investment funds to issue multiple tranches provided they share a unified investment objective, maintain separate accounts, establish independent document holders' assemblies, and secure a minimum five million Egyptian pound reserve with at least 2% participation per tranche. The decision mandates full disclosure of tranche-specific terms in the prospectus or information memorandum and takes effect the day after publication in the Egyptian Gazette.
