Association of Collective Investment Schemes

The Association of Collective Investment Schemes (ACIS), incorporated in 1987, is the primary trade body representing the interests of managers of UK authorised collective investment schemes, including Authorised Contractual Schemes (ACS), Co-ownership Authorised Contractual Schemes (CoACS), and Authorised Unit Trusts (AUTs). Its core mission is to act as the collective voice for its members, engaging with government bodies, regulators (like the FCA), and other stakeholders to influence policy and regulatory developments affecting the UK funds industry. ACIS provides a forum for its members to discuss industry issues, share best practices, and stay informed on regulatory changes.
