European Union -
Financial Conglomerates Directive
CHAPTER V
ASSET MANAGEMENT COMPANIES
Article 30
Asset management companies
Pending further coordination of sectoral rules, Member States
shall provide for the inclusion of asset management companies:
(a) in the scope of consolidated supervision of credit
institutions and investment firms, and/or in the scope of
supplementary supervision of insurance undertakings in an
insurance group; and
(b) where the group is a financial conglomerate, in the scope of
supplementary supervision within the meaning of this Directive.
For the application of the first paragraph, Member States shall
provide, or give their competent authorities the power to decide,
according to which sectoral rules (banking sector, insurance
sector or investment services sector) asset management companies
shall be included in the consolidated and/or supplementary
supervision referred to in
(a) of the first paragraph.
For the purposes of this provision, the relevant sectoral rules
regarding the form and extent of the inclusion of financial
institutions (where asset management companies are
included in the scope of consolidated supervision of credit
institutions and investment firms) and of reinsurance undertakings
(where asset management companies are included in the scope of
supplementary supervision of insurance undertakings) shall apply
mutatis mutandis to asset management companies.
For the purposes of supplementary supervision referred to in (b)
of the first paragraph, the asset management company shall be
treated as part of whichever sector it is
included in by virtue of (a) of the first paragraph.
Where an asset management company is part of a financial
conglomerate, any reference to the notion of regulated entity and
any reference to the notion of competent authorities and relevant
competent authorities shall therefore, for the purposes of this
Directive, be understood as including, respectively, asset
management companies and the competent authorities responsible for
the supervision of asset management companies. This applies
mutatis mutandis as regards groups referred to in (a) of the first
paragraph.
