View history note
Hide history noteA person (the provider ) provides a custodial or depository service to another person (the client ) if, under an arrangement between the provider and the client, or between the provider and another person with whom the client has an arrangement, (whether or not there are also other parties to any such arrangement), a financial product, or a beneficial interest in a financial product, is held by the provider in trust for, or on behalf of, the client or another person nominated by the client.
766E(2)
The following provisions apply in relation to a custodial or depository service: (a) subject to paragraph (b) , the time at which a custodial or depository service is provided is the time when the financial product or beneficial interest concerned is first held by the provider as mentioned in subsection (1) ; (b) for the purposes of Part 7.6 , and of any other provisions of this Act prescribed by regulations made for the purposes of this paragraph, the continued holding of the financial product or beneficial interest concerned by the provider as mentioned in subsection (1) also constitutes the provision of a custodial or depository service.
Note: Because of paragraph (a) (subject to regulations made for the purposes of paragraph (b) ), the requirements of Part 7.7 relating to financial services disclosure need only be complied with before the product or interest is first held by the provider. However, because of paragraph (b) , the provider will be subject to the licensing and related requirements of Part 7.6 for so long as they continue to hold the product or interest.
