I. – A UCITS may have one or more sub-funds if its articles of association or fund rules so provide. Each sub-fund gives rise to the issue of a class of units or shares representing the assets of the UCITS allocated to it. Notwithstandingarticle 2285 of the French Civil Code and unless otherwise stipulated in the UCITS’ constitutive documents, the assets of a given sub-fund are liable only for the debts, commitments and obligations and benefit only from the receivables relating to that sub-fund.
The AMF defines the conditions under which the formation of each sub-fund is subject to its approval, as well as the conditions under which the net asset value of each class of units or shares is determined on the basis of the net value of the assets allocated to the corresponding sub-fund.
II. – Each sub-fund is the subject of separate accounts within the UCITS accounts, which may be kept in any monetary unit under the conditions laid down by the decree provided for in Article L. 214-17-3.
