Note: One of the ways for book entry securities issued by a Mutual fund or its Agent to be considered an acceptable securities location, is for the Mutual Fund or its Agent to sign a custody agreement with CIPF outlining the terms upon which such securities are deposited and including provisions that no use or disposition of the securities shall be made without the prior written consent of the Member and the securities can be delivered to the Member promptly on demand. CIPF has executed these agreements on behalf of SRO members in order to reduce the need for the Mutual Fund or its Agent to enter into individual agreements with each Member it deals with.
Another way for the Mutual Fund or its Agent to be considered an acceptable securities location is for the Member to have a custody agreement, which conforms to SRO by-laws, with the Mutual Fund or Agent.
Unless otherwise indicated, a mutual fund company/fund manager on this listing has signed an agreement only for its family of funds. Where the mutual fund company/fund manager administers a third party mutual fund it must sign a separate agreement. Where this is the case, the listing will indicate the third party mutual fund(s) covered by the agreement.
