CSSF extends LMT activation module to notifications of suspension of redemptions
On 18 September 2026, the CSSF announced that, from 21 September 2026, the activation and deactivation of a suspension of redemptions only must be notified through the CSSF eDesk “LMT activation” module. The requirement applies to Luxembourg UCIs, SIFs and SICARs within the scope of the communication.

Existing administrative and documentation requirements remain unchanged. Compliance action: ensure relevant procedures and responsible teams are ready to use the eDesk module as of 21 September 2026.
