MF Lite is a lighter regulatory framework designed for passive schemes such as index funds and ETFs. It aims to make it easier for new and smaller sponsors to enter the passive space.
What this usually involves
- Whether the sponsor and scheme fit the MF Lite framework
- Passive scheme design and tracking arrangements
- How the lighter regime differs from the full regulations
How we help
We assess whether MF Lite is the right route and take the approvals forward.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to set up MF Lite (passive schemes)?
The timeline depends on the product, how ready your documents and information are, and the regulator’s review. We give a realistic estimate in the proposal and update it as the work progresses.
Do you guarantee regulatory approval?
No adviser can. Approval rests with the regulator. What we do is prepare your structure, documents and filings to the standard the process demands and manage the process closely.
Can we engage you for only one stage of the work?
Both are possible. Most clients engage us across structuring, documentation, regulatory execution and launch readiness, but you can engage us for a specific stage.
Do you support us after launch?
Yes. Our Launch Readiness workstream and post-incorporation support help you onboard investors and meet your ongoing obligations.
