A SICAV may delegate the management of its portfolio as referred to in article L. 214-7 to a management company.
The registered office and head office of the management company are located in France.
However, they may be located in another Member State of the European Union or another State party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area if the management company carries on business in France under the freedom of establishment or the freedom to provide services pursuant to article L. 532-20-1.
Where the SICAV does not delegate the management of its portfolio as referred to in the first paragraph, it must fulfil all the conditions applicable to UCITS management companies and comply with the obligations applicable to such companies, subject to the provisions of Article L. 214-7.
