Upcoming Versions
At openfunds we consider two general updates in a year as a good compromise between the size of the updates and the flexibility needed to cope with new regulatory requirements. As we have seen an increasing tendency for new fund regulations, not only in Europe but also in many individual countries in and outside Europe, this puts some pressure on openfunds for more releases, so we have recently had the need to provide extra interim releases to cope specifically with regulatory updates. We will monitor the situation going forward and will accomodate in case of requirements.
The next regular release is planned for Q1 2026 and will happen in March 2026.

openfunds explores data standard for UK CCI machine-readable files
The introduction of the UK Consumer Composite Investments (CCI) regime marks a significant shift in how retail investment product information will be delivered to investors. Under the new rules published by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), product summaries will be accompanied by a structured, machine-readable data file, enabling digital distribution and automated processing of investment product information. The FCA’s final rules for the CCI regime were published in December 2025, with implementation beginning in April 2026 and a transition period before full compliance becomes mandatory.
To support the industry in implementing this requirement, openfunds has started discussions with various industry participants to explore how the openfunds standard could contribute to the definition and exchange of the required CCI data in a machine-readable format.
openfunds will continue to collaborate with industry stakeholders and provide regular updates to our active members.
