CASS 6.1.1R01/11/2007

This chapter (the custody rules) applies to: 1(1) a MiFID investment firm:1(a) when it holds financial instruments belonging to a client in the course of its MiFID business; or1(b) that opts to comply with the custody rules under this chapter in accordance with CASS 6.1.17R (1)1 (Opt-in to the MiFID custody rules); and1(2) a third country investment firm that opts to comply with the custody rules under this chapter in accordance with CASS 6.1.17R (2) (Opt-in to the MiFID client

CASS 6.1.6R01/11/2007

The custody rules do not apply where a client transfers full ownership of a financial instrument to a firm for the purpose of securing or otherwise covering present or future, actual, contingent or prospective obligations.[Note: recital 27 to MiFID]

CASS 6.1.12R01/11/2007

(1) A firm need not treat this chapter as applying in respect of a delivery versus payment transaction through a commercial settlement system if it is intended that the financial instrument is either to be: (a) in respect of a client's purchase, due to the client within one business day following the client's fulfilment of a payment obligation; or(b) in respect of a client's sale, due to the firm within one business day following the fulfilment of a payment obligation;unless

CASS 6.1.15G01/11/2007

The custody rules do not apply if a firm temporarily handles a financial instrument belonging to a client. A firm should temporarily handle financial instrument for no longer than is reasonably necessary. In most transactions this would be no longer than one business day, but it may be longer or shorter depending upon the transaction in question. For example, when a firm executes an order to sell shares which have not been registered on a de-materialised exchange, handling

CASS 6.1.16G01/11/2007

When a firm temporarily handles a financial instrument, in order to comply with its obligation to act in accordance with Principle 10 (Clients' assets), the following are guides to good practice:(1) a firm should keep the financial instrument secure, record it as belonging to that client, and forward it to the client or in accordance with the client's instructions as soon as practicable after receiving it; and(2) a firm should make and retain a record of the fact that the firm

CASS 6.1.22G01/11/2007

Principle 10 (Clients' assets) requires a firm to arrange adequate protection for clients' assets when it is responsible for them. As part of these protections, the custody rules require a firm to take appropriate steps to protect financial instruments for which it is responsible.

CASS 3.1.3R01/11/2007

This chapter1 does not apply to a firm that has only a bare security interest (without rights to hypothecate) in the client's asset. In such circumstances, the firm must comply with the custody rules or client money rules as appropriate. 1

CASS 3.1.4G01/11/2007

For the purpose of this chapter1 only, a bare security interest in the client's asset gives a firm the right to realise the assets only on a client's default and without the right to use other than in default. 1

CASS 3.1.5G01/11/2007

The purpose of this chapter1 is to ensure that an appropriate level of protection is provided for those assets over which a client gives a firm certain rights. The arrangements covered by this chapter1 are those under which the firm is given a right to use the asset, and the firm treats the asset as if legal title and associated rights to that asset had been transferred to the firm subject only to an obligation to return equivalent assets to the client upon satisfaction of the

CASS 3.1.7G01/11/2007

This chapter1 recognises the need to apply a differing level of regulatory protection to the assets which form the basis of the two different types of arrangement described in CASS 3.1.5 G. Under the bare security interest arrangement, the asset continues to belong to the client until the firm's right to realise that asset crystallises (that is, on the client's default). But under a "right to use arrangement", the client has transferred to the firm the legal title and associated
