UCITS IV News: UCITS V: The depositary’s role and managers’ remuneration
PwC's UCITS IV News series, February 2011The European Commission is currently consulting on proposed changes to the role of UCITS depositaries and the remuneration of UCITS managers. The changes will seek to address perceived failings, better protect investors and align UCITS funds with the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive.
The depositary role would be strengthened by expanding its oversight responsibilities, increasing its liability and shifting the burden of proof onto the depositary for negligence or intentional failure to perform its duties.
These changes have significant implications for UCITS managers, depositaries, third party administrators, investors, auditors, and regulators.
