On 2 September 2013, KPMG Luxembourg launches a new online tool for investment management professionals. regulapedia is a web-based library that pulls together Luxembourg fund regulations.
Vincent Heymans, Partner at KPMG Luxembourg, explains the logic behind the new initiative. “For any given regulation, there can be in excess of twenty relevant documents, spread across a range of different websites. You know that the information you are looking for is somewhere in cyber space, but with the plethora of institutions involved, you find yourself endlessly hunting around countless websites to locate the information you need. By bringing everything together in one place, we hope to reduce the time wasted searching for a needle in a haystack.”
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 the documents in the library.
