Filing fund updates

Updates must be provided for each applicable fund within an offer

Part of: Managed fund offers

We need to receive fund updates from you within 5 working days of the fund update being made publicly available. Once accepted, we'll advise the Financial Markets Authority (FMA).

When to file a fund update

There is no fee charged for filing a fund update. You'll receive email reminders when filing is due on the Disclose Register.

Scheme (excluding restricted)

For funds that are open, closed to new investors or closed to all investment you need to file a quarterly update for 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December.

Restricted scheme

For funds that are open, closed to new investors or closed to all investment you need to file an annual update:

  • at the end of the disclosure year (31 March), or
  • at the scheme's balance date.

Closed superannuation or workplace savings schemes

For funds that are closed to new investors or closed to all investment, you need to file an annual update:

  • at the end of the disclosure year (31 March), or
  • at the scheme's balance date

Filing fund updates on time

If a fund update isn't provided on time, we'll place a non-compliance alert against the offer and we'll advise FMA that the fund update is overdue.

We can't waive breaches or grant extensions in filing time. If you want to discuss late or overdue filing contact the FMA.
