The '''Registration and Distribution Matrix''' module allows e-file users to manage the registration and distribution status of their funds in order to activate and run transmissions of documents to European authorities such as marketing of shares/units of an EU UCITS, cf. Directive 2009/65/EC.
__TOC__


The status can be updated <u>manually</u> by the user or <u>automatically</u> through a <u>Notification submission</u> using Fundsquare’s '''UCITS cross-border notifications module'''.
