The depositary may not engage in activities relating to the UCITS or the management company acting on its behalf which could give rise to conflicts of interest between the UCITS, the unit-holders or shareholders of the UCITS, the management company and the depositary itself, unless the depositary has functionally and hierarchically separated the performance of its depositary duties from its other duties and the potential conflicts of interest have been identified, managed, monitored and disclosed to the unit-holders or shareholders of the UCITS in an appropriate manner.
