Obtain authorization to transfer the management of a domestic investment fund

Service Description

As a capital management company (KVG), you can terminate your right to manage an investment fund. The right may also expire, for example in the event of insolvency. In this case, either the investment fund or the right to manage this investment fund is transferred to a depositary. The depositary, a special credit institution or an investment firm, then liquidates the investment fund and distributes it to the investors.

If you wish to transfer the right to manage the investment fund to another capital management company instead, you will require approval from the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin). An application is required for approval, which you submit via BaFin's notification and publication platform (MVP Portal).

Process flow

You must apply for approval to transfer the management right for an investment fund to another KVG via BaFin's MVP portal prior to the transfer:

  • To do this, log in to the MVP Portal with your access data.
    • If you do not yet have access: First register on the MVP Portal.
  • Select the specialist procedure "KAGB notification procedure - funds".
    • Please note that you must be registered for the specialist procedure. If you are not yet registered, you can do so in the "Specialist procedure" section ("Apply for specialist procedure").
  • Select "Submit notification" and complete the online application for approval of the transfer to another capital management company.
  • Compile all the necessary documents.
  • Send these documents to BaFin exclusively electronically via the MVP portal.
  • BaFin will check your application to ensure that all transfer requirements have been met and will grant you approval via the MVP Portal in the form of a PDF document if you meet all the requirements.
  • You must then announce the transfer in the Federal Gazette, in the annual or semi-annual report and in the electronic medium specified in the sales prospectus.
  • You may only make the announcement once you have received approval from BaFin.
