Ushering in a new era of regulatory clarity for Cyprus’ burgeoning funds sector, the Cypriot House of Representatives passed the Investment Funds Administrators Law (L.101(I)/2025) on 29 May 2025. Published in the Official Gazette on 18 June 2025, the law establishes a standalone licensing and supervisory framework for fund administration companies – a sector previously governed by broader fund manager rules. By aligning Cyprus with leading EU standards and requiring administrators to meet stringent capital, governance and compliance obligations, the legislation underscores the jurisdiction’s commitment to investor protection and operational excellence.
