Review of the UK funds regime

Last updated: 19/03/2025

  • Following a call for evidence to review the UK funds regime in 2021, the previous government proceeded with certain changes to the funds regime with a view to making the UK a more attractive location for funds capable of supporting a wider range of efficient investments.
  • In 2023, the government ran a consultation on the creation of a reserved investor fund (RIF), a proposed closed-ended vehicle for non-retail investors that could be attractive to UK-based institutional real estate fund managers. Following consultation on draft regulations during 2024 it was confirmed in the Autumn Budget 2024 that this fund type will be created. 
  • Timing: The Unauthorised Co-ownership Contractual Schemes (Tax) Regulations 2025 have now been published and came into force on 19 March 2025.
