The Fund Distribution Agreement is essential for establishing and regulating the relationship between investment fund providers and their distribution partners in South Africa. This document is used when a fund manager or investment company wants to appoint intermediaries to distribute their investment products to end investors. The agreement must comply with South African regulatory requirements, particularly the FAIS Act, FICA, and Collective Investment Schemes Control Act. It covers crucial aspects including distribution rights, regulatory compliance, commission structures, marketing guidelines, and operational procedures. The document is particularly important in the South African context due to specific regulatory requirements for financial intermediaries and the need to ensure proper consumer protection in financial services.
