The Croatian Financial Services Supervisory Agency published the public-interest decisions from its 72nd board meeting, adopting a broad package of amendments across pension and investment fund regulation and issuing a decision requiring the reporting of debt financial instrument transactions executed outside a regulated market or multilateral trading platform. The changes span voluntary pension program offerings, complaint reporting by mandatory and voluntary pension fund managers, organizational requirements for pension management companies, advertising and member information for voluntary pension funds, and rules on pension entitlements, member registers, and the suspension of payments and payouts. They also revise alternative investment fund and UCITS frameworks covering status changes, transfers of management, fees chargeable directly to public-offer AIF assets, liquidation and termination, register keeping, authorizations and qualifying holdings, fund units, and compulsory transfer of UCITS management. At the same meeting, Hanfa ordered Mezzanine Partners d.o.o. to strengthen anti-money laundering and terrorist financing controls by adding procedures and client questionnaire fields on the source of funds used for early loan repayment. The firm must implement the measures within 60 days of receiving the decision and report back within a further seven days, with the follow-up report to include reports from management and internal audit. Hanfa also found that Bitblock d.o.o. had remedied previously identified illegalities and irregularities, ending direct supervision, and approved UniCredit Invest d.o.o. za upravljanje UCITS fondovima to establish and manage the onemarkets UC Cash Plus Fund and the onemarkets UC Target Maturity Fixed Income 09/2029 and 09/2031 sub-funds, each with ZAGREBAČKA BANKA DIONIČKO DRUŠTVO as depositary and permissions to invest up to 100 percent of net assets in specified sovereign or supranational instruments. Additional decisions included approval for Jozo Ivanković to serve a five-year term as a management board member of HRVATSKO MIROVINSKO INVESTICIJSKO DRUŠTVO, insurance distribution licenses for Trustigo Group d.o.o. and Danijela Buden Ivanuš, and confirmation that Domagoj Klarić's insurance distribution license expired on June 12, 2026.
