Unregulated Collective Investment Schemes
Regulated Collective Investments Schemes (CIS) are those which are on the official Financial Services Authority register. Those CIS that are neither authorised or are categorised as unregulated are termed Unregulated Collective Investment Schemes (UCIS).Because they are unregulated, UCIS arrangements may be structured differently to the regulated alternatives, often resulting in a larger degree of risk and speculation.Unfortunately, in some cases UCIS arrangements are sold illegally to investors or may be mis-sold as suitable to an investor's circumstances when in fact they are highly ill-suited.Because UCIS are unregulated, the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) is unable to provide compensation in the event an investor loses sums to a scheme's negligence.
UCIS claims
In cases where investors have been mis-sold a UCIS scheme or have entered one unknowingly and they have, as a consequence, lost money, it is advisable that they speak with a professional negligence lawyer about claiming compensation.
