Table: This table belongs to COLL 6.3.2 G (2) (a) and COLL 6.3.3 R (Valuation)1.

Valuation and pricing
1	The valuation of scheme property
	(1)	Where possible, investments should be valued using a reputable source. The reliability of the source of prices should be kept under regular review.
	(2)	For some or all of the investments comprising the scheme property, different prices may quoted according to whether they are being bought (offer prices) or sold (bid prices). The valuation of a single-priced authorised fund should reflect the mid-market value of such investments. In the case of a dual-priced authorised fund, the issue basis of the valuation will be carried out by reference to the offer prices of investments and the cancellation basis by reference to the bid prices of those same investments. The prospectus should explain how investments will be valued for which a single price is quoted for both buying and selling.1 1
	3(2A)	Schemes investing in approved money-market instruments 5should value such instruments on an amortised cost basis on condition that:5 the approved money-market instrument has a residual maturity of less than three months and has no specific sensitivity to market parameters, including credit risk; or5 the scheme is a qualifying money market fund.5 5 5
	[Note:CESR's UCITS eligible assets guidelines with respect to article 4(2) of the UCITS eligible assets Directive]
	(3)	Any part of the scheme property of an authorised fund that is not an investment should be valued at a fair value, but for immovables this is subject to COLL 5.6.20 R (3) (f) (Standing independent valuer and valuation).
	(4)	For the purposes of (2) and (3), any fiscal charges, commissions, professional fees or other charges that were paid, or would be payable on acquiring or disposing of the investment or other part of the scheme property should, in the case of a single-priced authorised fund,2 be excluded from the value of an investment or other part of the scheme property. In the case of a dual-priced authorised fund, any such payments should be added to the issue basis of the valuation, or subtracted from the cancellation basis of the valuation, as appropriate. Alternatively, the prospectus of a dual-priced authorised fund may prescribe any other method of calculating unit prices that ensures an equivalent treatment of the effect of these payments.2
	(5)	Where the authorised fund manager has reasonable grounds to believe that: no reliable price exists for a security 1 at a valuation point; or the most recent price available does not reflect the authorised fund manager's best estimate of the value of a security at the valuation point it should value an investment at a price which, in its opinion, reflects a fair and reasonable price for that investment (the fair value price);
	(6)	The circumstances which may give rise to a fair value price being used include: no recent trade in the security concerned; or the occurrence of a significant event since the most recent closure of the market where the price of the security is taken. In (b), a significant event is one that means the most recent price of a security or a basket of securities is materially different to the price that it is reasonably believed would exist at the valuation point had the relevant market been open.
	(7)	In determining whether to use such a fair value price , the authorised fund manager should include in his consideration: the type of authorised fund concerned; the securities involved; the basis and reliability of the alternative price1 used; and the authorised fund manager's policy on the valuation of scheme property as disclosed in the prospectus.
	4(7A)	Where the authorised fund manager, the depositary or the standing independent valuer have reasonable grounds to believe that the most recent valuation of an immovable does not reflect the current value of that immovable, the authorised fund manager should consult and agree with the standing independent valuer a fair and reasonable value for the immovable.
	(8)	The authorised fund manager should document the basis of valuation (including any fair value pricing policy) and, where appropriate, the basis of any methodology and ensure that the procedures are applied consistently and fairly.
	(9)	Where a unit price is determined using properly applied fair value prices in accordance with policies in (8), subsequent information that indicates the price should have been different from that calculated will not normally give rise to an instance of incorrect pricing.
2	The pricing controls of the authorised fund manager
	(1)	An authorised fund manager needs to be able to demonstrate that it has effective controls over its calculations of unit prices.
	(2)	The controls referred to in (1) should ensure that: asset prices are accurate and up to date; investment 1transactions are accurately and promptly reflected in valuations; the components of the valuation (including stock, cash, and units in issue 1), are regularly reconciled to their source or prime records and any reconciling items resolved promptly and debtors reviewed for recoverability; the sources of prices not obtained from the main pricing source are recorded and regularly reviewed; compliance with the investment and borrowing powers is regularly reviewed; dividends are accounted for as soon as securities 1 are quoted ex-dividend (unless it is prudent to account for them on receipt): fixed interest dividends, interest and expenses are accrued at each valuation point 1; tax positions are regularly reviewed and adjusted, if necessary; reasonable tolerances are set for movements in the key elements of a valuation and movements outside these tolerances are investigated;5 the fund manager regularly reviews the portfolio valuation for accuracy5; and5 the valuation of OTC derivatives is accurate and up to date and in compliance with the methods agreed with the depositary.5
	(3)	In exercising its pricing controls, the authorised fund manager may exercise reasonable discretion in determining the appropriate frequency of the operation of the controls and may choose a longer interval, if appropriate, given the level of activity on the authorised fund 1or the materiality of any effect on the price.
	(4)	Evidence of the exercise of the pricing controls should be retained.
	(5)	Evidence of persistent or repetitive errors in relation to these matters, and in particular any evidence of a pattern of errors working in an authorised fund manager's favour, will make demonstrating effective controls more difficult.
	(6)	Where the pricing 1function is delegated to a third party, COLL 6.6.15 R (1) (Committees and delegation) will apply.
3	The depositary's review of the authorised fund manager's systems and controls
	(1)	This section provides details of the types of checks a depositary should carry out to be satisfied that the authorised fund manager adopts systems and controls which are appropriate to ensure that prices of units are calculated in accordance with this section and to ensure that the likelihood of incorrect prices will be minimised. These checks also apply where an authorised fund manager has delegated all or some of its pricing 1 functions to one or more third parties5. 5
	(2)	A depositary should thoroughly review an authorised fund manager's systems and controls to confirm that they are satisfactory. The depositary's review should include an analysis of the controls in place to determine the extent to which reliance can be placed on them.
	(3)	A review should be performed when the depositary is appointed and thereafter as it feels appropriate given its knowledge of the robustness and the stability of the systems and controls and their operation.
	(4)	A review should be carried out more frequently where a depositary knows or suspects that an authorised fund manager's systems and controls are weak or are otherwise unsatisfactory.
	(5)	Additionally, a depositary should from time to time review other aspects of the valuation of the scheme property of each authorised fund for which it is responsible, verifying, on a sample basis, if necessary, the assets, liabilities, accruals, units in issue 1, securities prices (and in particular the prices of OTC derivatives,5unapproved securities and the basis for the valuation of unquoted securities) and any other relevant matters, for example an accumulation factor or a currency conversion factor.
	(6)	A depositary should ensure that any issues, which are identified in any such review, are properly followed up and resolved.
4	The recording and reporting of instances of incorrect pricing
	(1)	An authorised fund manager should record each instance where the price of a unit is incorrect as soon as the error is discovered, and report the fact to the depositary together with details of the action taken, or to be taken, to avoid repetition as soon as practicable.
	(2)	In accordance with COLL 6.6.11 G (Duty to inform the FSA), the depositary should report any breach of the rules in COLL 6.3 immediately to the FSA. However, notification should relate to instances which the depositary considers material only.
	(3)	A depositary should also report to the FSA immediately any instance of incorrect pricing 1where the error is 0.5% or more of the price of a unit, where a depositary believes that reimbursement or payment is inappropriate and should not be paid by an authorised fund manager.
	(4)	In accordance with SUP 16.6.8 R, a depositary should also make a return to the FSA on a quarterly basis which summarises the number of instances of incorrect pricing 1 during a particular period.
5	The rectification of pricing breaches
	(1)	COLL 6.6.3 R (1) (Functions of the authorised fund manager) places a duty on the authorised fund manager to take action to reimburse affected unitholders, former unitholders, and the scheme itself, for instances of incorrect pricing 1, except if it appears to the depositary that the breach is of minimal significance.
	(2)	A depositary may consider that the instance of incorrect pricing 1is of minimal significance if: the authorised fund manager and depositary meet the standards of control set out in Section 2 and Section 3 of this Table; and the error in pricing 1 of a unit is less than 0.5% of the correct price.
	(3)	In determining (2), if the instance of incorrect pricing 1 is due to one or more factors or exists over a period of time, each price should be considered separately.
	(4)	If a depositary deems it appropriate, it may, in spite of the circumstances outlined in (2), require a payment from the authorised fund manager or from the authorised fund to the unitholders, former unitholders, the authorised fund or the authorised fund manager (where appropriate).
	(5)	The depositary should satisfy itself that any payments required following an instance of incorrect pricing 1 are accurately and promptly calculated and paid.
	(6)	If a depositary considers that reimbursement or payment is inappropriate, it should report the matter to the FSA, together with its recommendation and justification. The depositary should take into account the need to avoid prejudice to the rights of unitholders, or the rights of unitholders in a class of units.
	(7)	It may not be practicable, or in some cases legally permissible, for the authorised fund manager to obtain reimbursement from unitholders, where the unitholders have benefited from the incorrect price.
	(8)	In all cases where reimbursement or payment is required, amounts due to be reimbursed to unitholders for individual sums which are reasonably considered by the authorised fund manager and depositary to be immaterial, need not normally be paid.
