In June 2009, the Dubai Financial Services Authority ('DFSA') established a Market Practitioners Panel ('Panel') to review the Dubai International Financial Centre's ('DIFC') collective investment funds regime principally embodied in the DIFC

Collective Investment Law of 2006 and the DFSA's Collective Investment Rules.The Panel comprised 10 industry experts (of which Lynette Brown of Al Tamimi & Company was deputy chairperson) and was tasked to review the funds regime to identify what, if any, changes were needed to make the regime more attractive to the funds industry and potential investors.

The establishment of the Panel provided an ideal opportunity to shape the funds regime in a way that would best serve the need of the funds industry and investors, as well as continuing to promote the DIFC as a centre of excellence in funds management.
