1° The assets are reused on behalf of the UCITS ;
2° The custodian carries out the instructions of the SICAV or the UCITS management company;
3° The reuse benefits the UCITS and is in the interests of the unitholders or shareholders;
4° The transaction is covered by a high quality liquid financial guarantee received by the UCITS under a title transfer arrangement.
III. – The market value of the financial guarantee corresponds, at all times, at least to the market value of the reused assets plus a premium.
