The resurgence in the market and the prospect of continued low interest rates during the past year has increased flows of new monies into certain asset classes.  Dundas & Wilson has been very active in assisting with a range of developments to support those inflows with new funds.

As one of the UK’s leading Regulated Investment Fund practices with over 20 years' experience, we regularly work with leading industry players in this area who are looking to innovate and realise the full potential of this sector.

Leading on the creation and distribution of FSA authorised funds, we also provide regulatory support concerning the marketing of unregulated products.

Our team regularly draws upon expertise from across the whole firm including tax, corporate and real estate to provide a top-tier service to provide clients with a seamless service.

We advise on formation, structuring, restructuring, marketing and on-going management of a broad range of funds - including investment trusts, authorised unit trusts and OEICs, limited partnerships, unregulated OEICs, venture capital trusts and unregulated unit trusts.

Recently, we have also advised on:

• a wide range of COLL conversions;
• establishing unit trusts and OEICs under COLL;
• rationalising and restructuring unit trusts and OEICs;
• OEIC sub-fund mergers and conversion of unit trusts into OEIC sub-funds; and
• establishing innovative limited issue capital protected sub-funds.
