CL-5.2.1

Upon the insolvency of a third party to which client money has been transferred or is held, the investment firm licensee continues to be accountable to the client in a fiduciary capacity. However, consistent with a fiduciary's responsibility (whether as an agent or trustee) for third parties under law, an investment firm licensee will not be held responsible for a shortfall in client money unless the general laws in the Kingdom of Bahrain or in the relevant jurisdiction requires otherwise, for instance, due to non-compliance with the terms of business in any respect.
