UBS Asset Management (Europe) S.A.

Operator/depositary/trustee of a temporary recognised scheme

This is a firm that, as a result of being the operator, trustee, or depositary of a UCITS scheme set up in an EEA country that was marketed under a passport in the UK before the end of the transition period, was allowed to operate in that capacity in the UK, in relation to those UCITS schemes marketed under a passport. The UK Government established a temporary marketing permissions regime which provides a limited period of time during which firms can continue to market, in the same manner as they did before the end of the transition period, some or all of the funds they previously marketed under a passport in the UK. Accordingly, the operators, trustees and depositaries of such funds will continue to be authorised persons, with permission to operate in that capacity in the UK in respect of such funds, whilst the funds are in the temporary marketing permissions regime. Consumers doing business with this firm may wish to ask for further information from the firm about how complaints and compensation arrangements apply to UK customers. A firm based in an EEA State, may not be covered by a compensation scheme or not to the same extent as a UK authorised firm. The right to refer a matter to a dispute resolution scheme may not exist or may be more difficult for a UK customer to use.
