Not pretty, if you are a  {{ucits5prov|depositary}}, and that means not pretty if you are a delegate either. Since the depostiary can't discharge its responsibility for looking after assets by delegating that to a prime broker or other subcustodian, prome brokers should expect to be asked to provide eye-watering [[indemnities]] to the depositaries by whom they are delegated the custody function.  
Not pretty, if you are a  {{ucits5prov|depositary}}, and that means not pretty if you are a delegate either. Since the {{ucits5prov|depositary}} can’t discharge its safekeeping liability when delegating it even by means of full assumption of liability by the delegate (as is possible under AIFMD {{aifmdprov|21(12)}}, [[delegate]]s should expect to be asked to provide eye-watering [[indemnities]] to the depositary should they lose assets they are looking after on the {{ucits5prov|depositary}}’s behalf.  


Seeing as a [[prime broker]] can’t generally [[rehypothecate]] UCITS assets, it kind of makes you wonder why a prime broker would want to hold the assets in the first place.
