The Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (the “Authority”) hereby advises that all entities registered as Registered Persons are required to submit the Prudential Information Survey (ADR-046-75-02) for the 2025 calendar year, covering the reporting period 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025, via the Regulatory Enhanced Electronic Forms Submission (REEFS) portal.

The Prudential Information Survey will be available for completion from 1 January 2026 to 31 March 2026.

This survey is issued pursuant to section 6(b)(i) of the Monetary Authority Act (2020 Revision) and forms part of the Authority’s ongoing supervisory programme. The information collected will assist the Authority in assessing sector-specific activities, exposures, and associated risk areas for Registered Persons operating in or from within the Cayman Islands. The data obtained will support the Authority’s efforts to enhance the resilience, transparency and prudential soundness of the securities investment business sector.

Registered Persons are encouraged to review the Guidance for Registered Person Prudential Information Survey, which provides technical assistance and additional guidance on the completion of the survey. For further queries, Registered Persons may contact the Securities Supervision Division at contactsecurities@cima.ky.

The Authority further advises that the introduction of the Prudential Information Survey does not replace the requirement for Registered Persons to submit the Annual Declaration (ADR-046-75). The Annual Declaration will be available on REEFS from 1 January 2026 to 15 January 2026, covering the same reporting period of 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025.

The Authority emphasises the importance of the timely completion and accuracy of all information provided in both the Annual Declaration and the Prudential Information Survey.

The Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (the "Authority") hereby advises that the VASP Financial Returns Form referenced as VFR-051-84 (the "Form") will be available on 1 December 2025 via the Regulatory Enhanced Electronic Forms Submission system ("REEFS").

In accordance with Section 24 (1)(c) of the Virtual Asset (Service Providers) Act (2024 Revision) establishes the requirement for Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) to submit periodic financial returns to the Authority using the Form via REEFS.

The deadline for the first filing of completed Form is 31 December 2025, covering the reporting period ending 30 September 2025.

Should you require any assistance regarding the new form or the VASP application process, please refer to the Completion Guide available on the REEFS Forms Guidance Notes page. Alternatively, please contact the Authority via email at vaspinfo@cima.ky.

NOTICE

RE: Upcoming updates to Mutual Fund and Private Fund De-Registration Forms
 

The Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (the “Authority”) advises industry stakeholders that updates to the forms used to submit mutual fund and private fund de-registrations within the REEFS portal will take effect on 8 November 2025.

These updates are part of the Authority’s ongoing efforts to streamline the de-registration process and enhance the accuracy and completeness of submissions made through REEFS.

Effective 8 November 2025, the following updated forms will be introduced:

• TMF-147-22 v2 Form (Termination of a Mutual Fund or Private Fund) – supersedes the existing
• TMF-147-22 Form and expands its scope to include both mutual funds and private funds.
• TRS-142-99 v2 Form (Termination of a SP or Series Trust or Sub-Fund) - supersedes the existing TRS-142-99 Form and expands its scope to include private fund sub-funds and alternative investment vehicles (“AIVs”) (where the AIV is not separately registered as a private fund).

 

From the effective date, all de-registration applications must be submitted via REEFS using the new forms. Incoming submissions of private fund (including their related sub-fund and AIV) de-registration applications via email to Terminations@cima.ky will no longer be accepted.

The updated forms have been developed to align more closely with the Regulatory Procedure – Cancellation of Licences or Certificates of Registration for Regulated Mutual Funds and the Regulatory Procedure – Cancellation of Certificates of Registration for Registered Private Funds (together referred to as the “Cancellation Procedures”).

These enhancements are intended to increase process efficiency, improve the accuracy and completeness of submissions, and promote greater consistency across both mutual and private fund de-registrations.

Transition Period (8–20 November 2025)

To support ongoing applications, the following transitional arrangements apply:

A. Mutual Fund and Private Fund De-registrations

• Applications not resubmitted on or before 20 November 2025 will be invalidated and considered withdrawn. A new submission will then be required using the new TMF-147-22 v2 Form.
