Launch of Prudential Information Survey for Registered Persons (2025-12-31)

Summary

This is a CIMA general industry notice announcing the launch of a new Prudential Information Survey (form ADR-046-75-02) that all Registered Persons must complete for the 2025 calendar year. The survey covers the reporting period 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025 and must be submitted through CIMA's REEFS portal. CIMA states the survey is issued under section 6(b)(i) of the Monetary Authority Act (2020 Revision) and is intended to help it assess sector-specific activities, exposures and risk areas in the securities investment business sector.

Importantly, the notice clarifies that this new survey does not replace the existing Annual Declaration (ADR-046-75), which Registered Persons must continue to file separately for the same reporting period.

• Availability: Both filings will be available on REEFS starting 1 January 2026, but on different timelines.
• Annual Declaration deadline: Closes 15 January 2026.
• Prudential Information Survey deadline: Closes 31 March 2026.
• Further support: CIMA points Registered Persons to separate guidance material for completing the survey and to the Securities Supervision Division for queries.

Overall, this notice creates a new recurring prudential reporting obligation for Registered Persons in addition to their existing Annual Declaration obligation, with specific submission windows for the 2025 reporting year.
