Consultation: HM Treasury on charity pooled funds
14 August 2009
The government welcomes submissions regarding ways in which the responsibility for regulating Common Investment Funds (CIFs) and Common Deposit Funds (CDFs) can be more fully transferred from the Charity Commission to the Financial Services Authority.
This consultation document explores a proposal to achieve this aim whilst preserving existing tax reliefs.
CIFs are investment vehicles for charities in England and Wales, and were established to give smaller charities the opportunity to invest collectively in order to benefit from increased investment opportunities and diversification. CDFs are deposit-taking schemes. Both are currently regulated by the Charity Commission.
Comment should be received by 31 October 2009.
