This extension of permissible investments does not only include money market instruments, bank deposits, units of UCITS and other collective investments undertakings: UCITS are now also permitted to employ financial derivative instruments as part of their general investment policy, and not only for the purposes of hedging positions.
Denne udvidelse af tilladte investeringer omfatter ikke blot pengemarkedsinstrumenter, bankindskud, andele i investeringsinstitutter og andre kollektive investeringsselskaber. Investeringsinstitutterne kan nu også lade finansielle derivatinstrumenter indgå i deres generelle investeringspolitik, og ikke kun til dækningsformål.
