OFST160110 – National Nomenclature Of Legal Form

Specifies the national label of the Legal Form OFST160100 in English or in national language where appropriate. Usually the value of this field can be deducted by knowing the fund's Domicile (OFST010010 or OFST010011) and its Legal Form (OFST160100). However, there are a few exceptions from this rule. One is "Company with variable capital (SICAV)" in Germany, as there exist two possible values "Investmentaktiengesellschaft (InvAG) mit veränderlichem Kapital (KAGB §108ff)" or "Offene Investmentkommanditgesellschaft (InvKG) (KAGB §124ff)". Two other exceptions are "Open-Ended Investment Company (OEIC)" in United Kingdom and Ireland as for both countries there are two possible values. First "Open- ended investment company (OEIC)" or second "Investment company with variable capital (ICVC)". Please note that even for an Irish or British ICVC one should choose: "Open-Ended Investment Company (OEIC)".
