Fund Processing

In this section you can find various materials that the IMA and others have published to promote and facilitate greater standardisation, automation and improved operational efficiency when dealing with authorised investment funds.

Fund Processing Passport 

The Fund Processing Passport (FPP) provides reference information concerning a number of funds, primarily to assist financial institutions when they need to deal in units. The IMA has established a central repository for FPPs in the UK, which fund managers have been invited to populate with FPPs for their funds. 

The repository can be searched and individual FPPs downloaded using the
FPP search engine.
