Assets which are recorded separately in the accounts as provided for in Article R. 342-1 are kept by a single custodian. This custodian shall open, in the name of the insurance undertaking, a cash account and a securities account specific to each sub-account, as well as any account necessary for the maintenance of positions on the financial futures markets, for financial transactions relating to the financial management of these assets.
The custodian safeguards the assets, processes the insurance undertaking’s orders concerning transactions in securities and investments, including those relating to changes in the allocation of securities as referred to in articles R. 342-3 and R. 342-4, and exercises the subscription and allocation rights attached to the securities.
