AI Summary of Article 96

The legal framework governing UCITS allows for the consistent use of their legal designations across different Member States. Specifically, a UCITS can adopt the same reference to its legal form, such as 'investment company' or 'common fund', in its designation within a host Member State as it employs in its home jurisdiction.

This provision facilitates cross-border operations and enhances clarity for investors, thereby promoting a harmonised approach within the EU’s regulatory landscape.
