Report Highlights - By the end of 2005, UCITS funds accounted for 70% of the total fund industry in Europe in terms of the number of funds available. Net inflows are even more weighted towards the UCITS side of the market, suggesting that UCITS popularity with investors was greater than that of non-UCITS in 2005. - Many fund managers believe that the current legislation brought in under UCITS III does not do enough to create a truly unified, harmonized single European market. They are concerned that several important goals such as cross-border mergers, and the pooling of investor assets across borders, will not be feasible without further amendments.
