How to Register a Mutual Investment Fund

A Mutual Investment Fund (MIF) is an efficient tool for raising capital and jointly investing in various assets. It allows investors to pool resources under the management of a professional Asset Management Company (AMC).

The registration process must strictly follow the rules set by the National Securities and Stock Market Commission of Ukraine (NSSMC). Any mistake in the documentation can result in delays or refusal.

The Legal and Real Estate Association of Ukraine offers full legal support for creating and registering an MIF, minimizing risks and ensuring proper launch.
