To avoid [[conflicts of interest]], generally neither the [[fund]]’s own [[investment manager]] nor its [[prime broker]] (if it has one) can act as a {{aifmdprov|depositary}}, though the {{aifmdprov|depositary}} can delegate certain of its functions to the [[prime broker]], as we shall see. | ||
In what follows we discuss the {{AIFMD}} {{aifmdprov|depositary}} provisions. If you want to compare those with the {{UCITS}} {{ucits5prov|depositary}} provisions, see the [[JC]]’s handy [[Depositary comparison under AIFMD and UCITS]] feature. Neat, huh? | |||
