KIID Collateral management - Issuer concentration

[ESMA 34-43-392 UCITS Q&A, section 3, Q&A 6m] Yes, in accordance with paragraph 2 of Box 27 of the guidelines on Risk Measurement and Calculation of Global Exposure and Counterparty Risk for UCITS (Ref. CESR/10-788) the reinvested cash collateral should be taken into account for the calculation of the investment restrictions applicable to UCITS. For example, this means that if a UCITS has already placed 10% of its assets on deposits with a given issuer, it should not reinvest cash collateral for more than 10% of its assets in deposits with the same issuer in order to comply with the 20% limit of Article 52(1)(b) of the UCITS Directive. In addition, the reinvested cash collateral has to comply with the diversification requirement laid down in paragraph 44 of the ESMA guidelines on ETFs and other UCITS issues.
