ETF Listing

A multi-jurisdictional "turn-key" solution for ETF funds combining quick and efficient market entry and stock exchange listing together with ongoing market reporting, all fully project managed by a central team and supported by our integrated global network of local market experts in cross-border fund distribution.

Challenges

Notwithstanding recent phenomenal growth in the number of European ETF products, the cross-border distribution of ETF funds entails many challenges. Based on the distribution strategy chosen, your ETF may need to be listed on several stock exchanges. Each exchange has its own listing procedure and ongoing reporting obligations. With both authorisation for distribution and stock exchange listing, you will need to understand and satisfy a host of differing regulatory requirements across multiple jurisdictions. You need the support of skilled and experienced local experts to optimise the market entry and ongoing compliance processes for your ETF funds.

PwC Solutions

Our ETF Listing module is a “turn-key” multi-jurisdictional project managed solution for your ETF platform. Your ETF is able to achieve simultaneous market entry, for both registration and exchange listing, in multiple jurisdictions via a single PwC contact point within the GFD central team, fully project managing all entry processes. The ETF Listing module delivers certainty and speed to market with the minimum use of your valuable internal resources.

Once your ETF has been registered and listed in the required jurisdictions, our comprehensive Market Reporting module is tailored to your ETF platform. Indeed, our solution covers both ongoing reporting to the local regulator and/or tax administration and to the local stock exchange. The Market Reporting module for ETF funds covers both areas of ongoing market reporting in a systematic way by first advising you of the necessary reporting obligations and then, through a tailored and formalised reporting program, ensuring your ETF fund is always in compliance. This is especially important given the differing stock exchange listing requirements.
