RESOLUTION modifying the General Provisions applicable to investment funds and persons providing services to them

A seal with the National Coat of Arms appears at the margin, which reads: United Mexican States.- TREASURY.- Ministry of

Finance and Public Credit.- National Banking and Securities Commission.

The National Banking and Securities Commission, based on articles 9, fifth and seventh paragraphs

of the Investment Funds Law; 98 Bis of the Credit Institutions Law, as well as 4, fractions XXXVI

and XXXVIII and 16, fraction I of the Law of the National Banking and Securities Commission, and

CONSIDERING

That, in accordance with article 78 of the General Law of Regulatory Improvement and with the aim of reducing the

cost of compliance with the General Provisions applicable to investment funds and persons

providing services to them, the National Banking and Securities Commission through this

modifying resolution adds article 14 Bis which sets out twenty-eight exceptions in

which equity investment funds and debt instrument funds will not have to request

prior authorization from this authority to modify their prospectuses for public investors, but

only the submission of a copy of the information prospectus showing the changes made;

That currently, the Investment Funds Law establishes that these must request authorization from

the National Banking and Securities Commission to make modifications to their information prospectuses for

public investors, which generates administrative burden;

That, in order for the authorization procedure mentioned in the preceding Consideration to be carried out in

a more agile and efficient manner, advancing towards an administrative economy, it is necessary to incorporate

additional scenarios that, if they occur, will not require authorization from the National Banking and Securities

Commission for the modification of the information prospectuses for public investors, especially in

cases such as the change of registered office of the operating company that manages investment funds

or the change of nomenclature in the case of index providers; these aspects, when analyzed by the

National Banking and Securities Commission, result in the diversion of human resources and, in

consequence, the aforementioned authorizations become slow processes that inhibit the growth and

dynamism of the investment fund sector;

That it is pertinent to strengthen the intermediate bodies of the operating companies of investment

funds, therefore the board of directors is authorized to form an investment committee to approve changes to the

information prospectuses for public investors, specifically in the sections on investment regime,

buy and sell policies, as well as risk management;

That, with the objective of strengthening open architecture and expanding options for public investors, it is

provided that equity investment funds and debt instrument funds may establish commissions

for the administration of their assets or for the distribution services of their shares, differentiated by

share series, when acquired by other investment funds that are managed by a

different operating company of investment funds, and

That, in order to eliminate the legal asymmetry that may affect the client's assets and the fair

competition in the investment fund market, the right of investors to

portability of their shares and resources from a share distribution company of investment funds or from

an entity that provides share distribution services, to another company of the same nature, is incorporated, therefore

it has resolved to issue the following:

RESOLUTION MODIFYING THE GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO

INVESTMENT FUNDS AND PERSONS PROVIDING SERVICES TO THEM

SINGLE.- Articles 9, second, third and fourth paragraphs; 12; 13; 14; 25 Bis 12; 25 Bis

Annexes 2 and 3 of the "General Provisions applicable to investment funds

2014, and last modified by the resolution published in the said Gazette on December 30,

counted from the date of commencement of its operations or of the immediate previous modification to said

regimes. This period may be shorter if, in the judgment of the Commission, there are disordered market conditions justifying it. The foregoing will not apply if such modifications result from reforms or

The order in which the different sections of the Prospectus are presented must adhere to this Annex, except for particular cases that require a different order and are previously authorized by the Commission.

In the preparation of the Prospectus, clear and easy-to-understand language must always be used, avoiding technical terms or complicated legal formalisms that cannot be easily understood by a person who does not have specialized knowledge in the subject matter.
