Société d’Investissement à Capital Variable

(SICAV). Type of collective investment scheme available in western Europe.

Unlike Fonds Commun de Placements (FCP), SICAVs are distinct legal entities, with each investor being a shareholder of the company. In other words, SICAVs are open-ended investment companies.
