Section 65 Limitations on Marketing and Sale of Foreign Investment Funds

Section 65 of the Collective Investment Schemes Control Act (CISCA) governs the offering and marketing of foreign collective investment schemes that are not registered in South Africa. To ensure full compliance, key limitations include:

  1. No Active Marketing or Direct Selling: Investment strategies not approved under Section 65 cannot be actively marketed or sold to South African investors. This restriction prohibits any form of direct solicitation, public advertisement, or promotional material aimed at South African clients.
  2. Reverse Solicitation Required: Information on these strategies may be shared only upon direct request from the investor, known as reverse solicitation. Any engagement must be investor-initiated, underscoring the importance of client autonomy and regulatory adherence.
  3. Strictly Informational Material: Fact sheets and supporting documents are presented solely to provide a high-level understanding of each strategy's structure, objectives, and broader investment approach. They are not intended as offers to buy or invest in these specific strategies.
