I. – A general-purpose investment fund may have one or more sub-funds if its articles of association or fund rules so provide. Each sub-fund shall give rise to the issue of a class of units or shares representing the assets of the general-purpose investment fund allocated to it. Notwithstanding article 2285 of the French Civil Code and unless otherwise stipulated in the articles of association or fund rules, 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 Autorité des marchés financiers shall define the conditions under which the formation of each sub-fund shall be subject to its approval, as well as the conditions under which the net asset value of each class of units or shares shall be determined on the basis of the net value of the assets allocated to the corresponding sub-fund.
II. – Within the accounts of the general-purpose investment fund, each sub-fund is the subject of separate accounts which may be kept in any monetary unit under the conditions laid down by the decree provided for in article L. 214-24-52.
