21 UCITS V - Agenda Depositary rules Remuneration rules Penalties for breach Alignment with AIFMD

22 UCITS V - Depositary Rules Eligibility No passport Re-hypothecation of assets? Delegation Liability - new standard - no contractual discharge

23 UCITS V - Remuneration Alignment with AIFMD Bonus cap defeated at European Parliament ESMA guidelines on proportionality Look-through to self-managed funds? Covered staff Disclosure requirements Regulatory monitoring

24 UCITS V - Penalties Prescribed investor protection provisions Prescribed sanctions Whistle blowing provisions No distinction between self-managed funds and funds with external management company

25 UCITS V Impact on Industry Costs Scope of depositary services Remuneration - change to risk profile Variable remuneration

26 UCITS VI More Changes! Not industry driven Overlap with other EU regulation Focus on: 1) Eligible assets and use of derivatives 2) Efficient portfolio management techniques 3) OTC Derivatives 4) Extraordinary liquidity management rules 5) Depositary passport 6) Money market funds 7) Long term investments 8) Addressing some of the issues of UCITS IV
