Investment service providers other than portfolio management companies which provide the investment service referred to in Article L. 321-1 .4 shall not accept, unless they return them in full to the client, any remuneration, commission or other monetary or non-monetary benefit relating to the provision of the service to the client, paid or provided by a third party or by a person acting on behalf of a third party.
