Here is where the lawyer’s yen for over-particularity can be a self-snooker. A [[prime broker]] or a [[custodian]] will like to take a general charge over not just securities, but the fund’s claim against the [[custodian]] in whose accounts they sit (even though that will usually be itself), and all the fund’s rights against its counterparties under market transactions (even though they will (largely) be itself). It is a moot point whether claims under a swap transaction ''referencing'' a bond or share count as “claims and rights over any of the above” so the [[path of least resistance]], paved with good intentions though it is, is just to register the charge and be done with it. | Here is where the lawyer’s yen for over-particularity can be a self-snooker.

That said, Section 408(3) seems, to our reading, to acknowledge that an unregistered charge will still be effective to the extent it covers FCR-eligible assets, even if it won’t work for other assets. Since the other assets part is basically thrown in for good measure, one might be inclined to take a bit of a view. Not that we would recommend anything quite so cavalier, of course. | That said, Section 408(3) seems, to our reading, to acknowledge that an unregistered charge will still be effective to the extent it covers FCR-eligible assets, even if it won’t work for other assets.
