A managed investment scheme is an investment that pools money from many investors. You need to register a managed investment scheme on the Disclose Register before you can make an offer under that scheme.

To register a managed fund offer you must:
- have a RealMe® login
- be a registered user of your organisation's online account
- have authority to act on behalf of the issuer.
Before you begin your application
Make sure you have all the information and documents you'll need to complete your online application.
Participant details
Participants are added when you register the underlying scheme.
Some participants to an offer will need to be registered as a Financial Service Provider (FSP) FSPs who provide certain financial services also need to be licensed
Legislative reference guide
The reference guide contains legislation relating to sections of your online application for registration.
Register a managed fund offer
To register a managed fund offer, log in to your organisation's online services account and follow these steps.
- In the main menu, select ‘Disclose’.
- From the drop-down menu select ’Register a managed fund MIP Offer’.
- Complete the online form by entering your offer details.
- Upload your documents (ensuring you use the prescribed fund data templates) for the offer.
- Review the details you have entered, then tick the declaration and select Submit. You can edit any details that have not been entered correctly, or download an extract of your application for your personal records.
- Pay the registration fee, if applicable.
Once you have completed your payment, you will receive onscreen confirmation that your application has been sent to us for acceptance. Your application will appear in your dashboard under the ‘Things in progress’ tab.
Closed schemes
You may need to provide fund updates for managed investment schemes (or scheme sections) that are closed to new members.
To do this, you'll need to register a skeleton offer but won't have to provide a Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) or its associated register data.
When you register your offer, you'll need to tell us that the scheme is closed so the register doesn't ask you to supply a PDS or associated register data. On the offer details tab, follow these steps.
- Select “Yes” at the ‘Scheme or scheme section(s) closed at transition’ section, which will display when you select your scheme.
- Select the ‘Transition status’ from the drop down to indicate whether the scheme is Closed to all investment, or Closed to new investors.
You can register your offer when you provide your first fund update.
Providing managed fund data
You can provide your fund data by:
- uploading a file (XLSX (Excel) or CSV) using one of our data templates, or
- using an Application Programming Interface (API), which is a web-based interface.
Before you upload your fund data, we recommend you read these guides about delivering data, file formats and data requirements.
