{{a|aifmd|}}Delegated Regulation {{aifmdprov|DR99}} relates to the {{aifmdprov|depositary}}’s obligation to segregate custody assets.  


In the main {{aifmdprov|DR99}} is of scant interest to [[prime broker]]s, though the {{aifmdprov|depositary}} might insist on copying screeds of the regulation out and popping it into the custody delegation contract. This is an understandable instinct, but a misguided one which you must all the same resist, for the simple reason that ''regulations change''. Even EU regulations. By all means refer to the obligations under {{aifmdprov|DR99}} as in force [[from time to time]], or something similarly laborious, as lopng as it tracks what the actual regulatory requirement is, for the time being, not what it was eight years ago when you signed your contract.

By all means refer to the obligations under {{aifmdprov|DR99}} as in force [[from time to time]], or something similarly laborious, as long as it merely tracks the actual regulatory requirement that impacts what the [[delegate]] must do, [[for the time being]], not what it was eight years ago when you signed its stupid [[contract]].


An [[Negotiator|assiduous pedant]]<ref>I was surprised about this, too, but you do occasionally come across them negotiating prime brokerage documents.</ref> might also argue that {{aifmdprov|DR99}} doesn’t actually impose obligations, ''[[per se]]'', on the [[delegate]] [[sub-custodian]], but only on the {{aifmdprov|depositary}}, so the delegate should not have to give these reps, or agree to be subject to these regulations at all.
