As the final quarter of 2025 begins, fund managers face a rapidly changing regulatory environment that continues to shape how investment funds are distributed across borders.
Zeidler Group, which helps firms with investment funds law, recently explored what fund managers need to know in Q4.
To help firms stay ahead, Zeidler has rolled out fresh updates to its Global Knowledge Hub (GKH). The September release introduces new insights and jurisdictional developments designed to guide fund managers through complex regulatory landscapes. This includes the launch of a more intuitive General Q&A section that answers frequently asked questions about fund registration, documentation, and reverse solicitation.
Highlighting some of the developments, Zeidler pointed to Italy’s latest reform. The country’s regulator, CONSOB, has launched the DePub platform, requiring UCITS, including ETFs, to submit marketing materials through the system from 1 September 2025. Firms are granted a transition period until the end of the year to shift from email submissions to the new digital platform.
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia’s Capital Market Authority (CMA) has broadened access for foreign funds by allowing CMA-licensed firms to distribute and manage overseas products locally.
Other jurisdictions are also tightening their oversight. New Zealand’s revised Private Placement guidance now imposes extended AML obligations on fund managers deemed to be operating in the country. In Israel, new rules clarify restrictions on pre-marketing materials, prohibiting references to investment strategies, benchmarks, and liquidity to maintain transparency and investor protection.
