On 26th February 2021, the FI (Finansinspektionen) updated the holding reporting for mutual funds and special funds (F815 and F816). This is a consequence of the amendments that came into force on 1 January 2021 of Finansinspektionen’s regulations (FFFS 2013: 9) on securities funds and Finansinspektionen’s regulations (FFFS 2013: 10) on managers of alternative investment funds.

No new information

This does not lead to any new information being reported, but only to several of the voluntarily specified information now becoming mandatory. The first reporting opportunity according to the updated schedule is the period with reference date 2021-03-31.
