Subject to the provisions of article L. 214-8-7, a fonds commun de placement, which does not have legal personality, is a co-ownership of financial instruments and deposits, the units of which are issued and redeemed at the request of subscribers or unitholders, as the case may be, and at the net asset value plus or minus fees and commissions, as the case may be. The provisions of the Civil Code relating to joint ownership and those of articles 1871 to 1873 of the same Code relating to joint ventures do not apply to the FCP.
Units may be admitted to trading on a regulated market or a multilateral trading facility under conditions laid down by decree.
The general regulations of the Autorité des marchés financiers set the conditions for subscription, transfer and redemption of units issued by the mutual fund.
