Investment regulations differ in each financial jurisdiction. LawCards® are comprehensive predefined rule sets for MIG21® covering country-specific legal investment restrictions of the world's major financial centres. They support all asset classes, also complex structured products and derivatives.

LawCards keep you up to date with compliance developments around the globe so your UCITS and Non-UCITS funds can be launched in new legal jurisdictions without overheads or delay. Amendments to legislation are incorporated into the LawCards to ensure constant validity.
