Article 10Monitoring of the F1UK UCITS' cash flows

1.

A depositary shall be deemed to comply with the requirements set out in F2rule 6.6B.17 of the Collective Investment Schemes sourcebook where it ensures effective and proper monitoring of the F1UK UCITS' cash flows and, in particular, it at least:

F3(a)

ensures that all cash of the UK UCITS is booked in accounts opened with:

(i)

a central bank;

(ii)

a CRR firm (but not a CRR firm which is also an investment firm);

(iii)

a credit institution authorised in accordance with Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on access to the activity of credit institutions and the prudential supervision of credit institutions and investment firms, amending Directive 2002/87/EC and repealing Directives 2006/48/EC and 2006/49/EC ; or

(iv)

a credit institution authorised in a country outside both the United Kingdom and the EU, where cash accounts are required for the purposes of the UK UCITS' operations, provided that the prudential supervisory and regulatory requirements applied to credit institutions in the country in which the credit institution is authorised are considered by the competent authority as at least equivalent to those applied in the United Kingdom;

(b)

implements effective and proper procedures to reconcile all cash flow movements and performs such reconciliations on a daily basis, or, in case of infrequent cash movements, when such cash flow movements occur;

(c)

implements appropriate procedures to identify at the close of each business day significant cash flows and cash flows which could be inconsistent with F1UK UCITS' operations;

(d)

reviews periodically the adequacy of those procedures, including through a full review of the reconciliation process at least once a year, and ensures that the cash accounts opened in the name of the investment company or in the name of the management company acting on behalf of the F1UK UCITS or in the name of the depositary acting on behalf of the F1UK UCITS are included in the reconciliation process;

(e)

monitors on an ongoing basis the outcomes of the reconciliations and the actions taken as a result of any discrepancies identified by the reconciliation procedures, and notifies the management company or the investment company if a discrepancy has not been corrected without undue delay and also the competent F4authority if the situation cannot be corrected;

(f)

checks that there is consistency between its own records of cash positions and those of the F1UK UCITS.

For the purposes of assessing the equivalence of prudential supervisory and regulatory requirements applied to credit institutions of a third country referred to in point (a), F5the competent authority shall take into account F6Commission Implementing Decision 2014/908/EU of 12 December 2014 on the equivalence of the supervisory and regulatory requirements of certain third countries and territories for the purposes of the treatment of exposures according to Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council, and regulations made by the Treasury under Article 107(4) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council6.

2.

The management company or the investment company shall ensure that all instructions and information related to a cash account opened with a third party are sent to the depositary, to enable the depositary to perform its own reconciliation procedure.
