Correction of box management errors |

Controls by authorised fund managers |
|
An authorised fund manager needs to be able to demonstrate that it has effective controls over: |
||
(1) |
its calculations of what units are owned by it (its 'box'); and |
|
(2) |
compliance with COLL 6.2.8 R which is intended to prevent a negative box. |
|

Controls by depositaries |
|
(1) |
Under COLL 6.6.4 (General duties of the depositary), a depositary should take reasonable care to ensure that a scheme2 is managed in accordance with COLL 6.2 (Dealing) and COLL 6.3 (Pricing and valuation). |
|
(2) |
A depositary should therefore make a regular assessment of the authorised fund manager's box management procedures (including supporting systems) and controls. This should include reviewing the authorised fund manager's controls and procedures when the depositary assumes office, on any significant change and on a regular basis, to ensure that a series of otherwise minor changes do not have a cumulative and a significant effect on the accuracy of the controls and procedures. |
|
3 |
Recording and reporting of box management errors |
|
(1) |
An authorised fund manager should record all errors which result in a breach of COLL 6.2.8 R (Controls over the issue and cancellation of units) and as soon as an error is discovered, the authorised fund manager should report the fact to the depositary, together with details of the action taken, or to be taken, to avoid repetition of the error. |
|
(2) |
A depositary should report material box management errors to the FSA immediately. Materiality should be determined by taking into account a number of factors including:
|
|
(3) |
A depositary should also make a return to the FSA (in the manner prescribed by SUP 16.6.8 R) on a quarterly basis. |
