In cases where an investment firm licensee is providing investment management services to a regulated mutual fund, and is not responsible for receiving investors' funds being paid into the fund, it may limit its CDD to confirming that the administrator of the fund is subject to FATF-equivalent customer due diligence measures (see FC-1.6 for applicable measures). Where there are reasonable grounds for believing that investors' funds being paid into the fund are not being adequately verified by the administrator, then the investment firm licensee should consider terminating its relationship with the fund.
