Abstract
In this paper, we consider for the first time the impact of fund regulation on the international distribution of investment funds. We study the 2001 Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS) Directive of the European Union, which was put in place to mitigate fraud and promote investor confidence throughout Europe. We examine the impact of UCITS on international distributions of European investment funds over the 2002--2009 period. We show that the UCITS regulatory structure has significantly facilitated cross-border fund distributions, albeit UCITS has had less success in facilitating distributions among smaller fund promoters. Also, UCITS funds, especially UCITS equity funds, have lost some of their advantage in terms of cross-border distribution during the period of the recent financial crisis. Further, we show there has been a growing interest in UCITS over time outside Europe, notably in Asia.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
