Article 5 Procedure for authorising MMFs that are AIFs
1. An AIF shall be authorised as an MMF only if the competent authority of the MMF approves the application submitted by an AIFM, that has already been authorised under Directive 2011/61/EU to manage an MMF that is an AIF, and also approves the fund rules and the choice of the depositary.
2. When submitting the application for managing an MMF that is an AIF, the authorised AIFM shall provide the competent authority of the MMF with:
(a) the written agreement with the depositary;
(b) information on delegation arrangements regarding portfolio and risk management and administration with regard to the AIF;
(c) information about the investment strategies, the risk profile and other characteristics of MMFs that are AIFs that the AIFM manages or intends to manage.
The competent authority of the MMF may ask the competent authority of the AIFM for clarification and information concerning the documentation referred to in the first subparagraph or an attestation as to whether MMFs fall within the scope of the AIFM's management authorisation. The competent authority of the AIFM shall respond within 10 working days of such request.
3. Any subsequent modifications of the documentation referred to in paragraph 2 shall be immediately notified to the competent authority of the MMF by the AIFM.
