I. – An undertaking for collective real estate investment may have several sub-funds if the regulations of the real estate investment fund or the articles of association of the société de placement à prépondérance immobilière à capital variable so provide. Each sub-fund gives rise to the issue of one or more classes of units or shares representing the assets of the undertaking for collective real estate investment allocated to it. Notwithstanding article 2285 of the French Civil Code and unless otherwise stipulated in the constitutive documents of the undertaking for collective real estate investment, 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.
Where sub-funds are formed within an undertaking for collective investment in real estate, they are all individually subject to the provisions of this code governing that undertaking.
The AMF defines the conditions under which the creation of each sub-fund is subject to its approval, as well as the conditions under which the net asset value of each class of units or shares is determined on the basis of the net value of the assets allocated to the corresponding sub-fund.
II. – Each subfund is the subject of separate accounts within the accounts of the undertaking for collective investment in real estate, which may be kept in any monetary unit under the conditions laid down by the decree provided for in the fourth paragraph of article L. 214-50.
III. – The Autorité des marchés financiers approves the conversion, merger, demerger and liquidation of sub-funds under conditions that it defines.
