Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable SecuritiesAlso called UCITS. A system intended to allow mutual funds and other investment vehicles to operate throughout the European Union. That is, UCITS aims to unify investment regulation throughout Europe so that a company registered in one country can conduct operations in other countries as well.
