Derivatives may be used insofar as they help to reduce risk or promote efficient portfolio management.
Investments and assets not admitted to trading on a regulated market are maintained at prudent levels.
Assets are appropriately diversified so as to avoid excessive dependence on any one asset, issuer or group of companies or any one geographical area and to avoid excessive accumulation of risk in the portfolio as a whole.
Investments in assets issued by the same issuer or by issuers belonging to the same group must not expose the guarantee fund to an excessive concentration of risk.
