Earlier this month, we launched a new online tool for investment management professionals. KPMG Regulatory Scout Library is a web-based library that pulls together Luxembourg funds regulations.

A needle in a haystack

I think the origins of this initiative will strike a chord with anyone working in investment management. As you know, for any given regulation, there can be in excess of twenty relevant documents spread across a range of different websites. The information you are looking for is somewhere in cyber space, but with the plethora of institutions involved, finding the right document involves an endless hunt around countless websites. By bringing everything together in one place, we hope to reduce the time wasted searching for a needle in a haystack.

Just one click

The website has been conceived with simplicity in mind. With just one click on the name of the desired regulation, users are directed to a list of associated circulars, laws, consultation papers and other legal texts. For each regulation, the documents are grouped according to issuing institution with the most recent document at the top of the list. A powerful search function scans the content of all documents in the library.

As with any new initiative, feedback is critical to ensure a top quality deliverable. Should you have any comments on the website or suggestions for future improvements, I’d invite you to let us know at vincent.heymans@kpmg.lu.
