CMA LAW: Press Release: The Launch of New Services through the CMA’s Electronic Portal

Kuwait, December 29, 2025 – The Capital Markets Authority (CMA) has launched several services related to collective investment schemes through its website, on its electronic portal page. These services include:

• Application for Incorporation of a Local Fund

• Application for Incorporation of a Contractual Collective Investment Scheme

Thus, the persons licensed to practice the activity of a collective investment scheme manager can submit incorporation applications electronically through the portal, along with the required supporting documents.

The CMA has also launched a form for reporting the results of marketing units of a collective investment scheme incorporated outside the State of Kuwait. This allows licensed persons who obtained a license to market a collective investment scheme incorporated outside the State of Kuwait to submit these reports electronically within the deadlines stipulated in the Executive Bylaws of Law No. 7 of 2010 Regarding the Establishment of the Capital Markets Authority and Regulating Securities Activities, and their amendments.

Accordingly, the aforementioned forms will no longer be accepted through standard mail and shall be submitted through the CMA's portal, effective from this date.

The CMA continues to develop its electronic services to launch and initiate all new services related to collective investment schemes.

In conclusion, the CMA wishes to emphasize its ongoing commitment to adopting best practices across all sectors and implementing its vision, aligned with the government's directions to enhance business efficiency. This will contribute to improving the overall local business environment and achieving the state's strategic development goals.
