This Order revokes and replaces, without amendment, the Investment Business (Accounts, Audit and Reports) (Jersey) Order 1999, which, consequent on the commencement of the Financial Services (Extension) (Jersey) Law 2000, would wrongly apply to persons carrying on any type of financial service business.

Persons carrying on trust company business or both trust company business and investment business will be subject to the Financial Business (Trust Company Business (Accounts, Audits and Reports)) (Jersey) Order 2000.

The Order was made on 12th January 2001 and comes into force on 2nd February 2001. R & O 6/2001

The purpose of this Order is to regulate the holding of investment business assets by persons registered to carry on investment business under the Financial Services (Jersey) Law 1998. It replaces the Investment Business (Client Assets) (Jersey) Order 1999 and is a consequence of the coming into force of the Financial Services (Extension) (Jersey) Law 2000.

Part 1 contains the definitions used in the Order (Article 1).

Part 2 relates to client money which is defined in Article 3. Conditions are imposed as to the segregation, accounting for and use of client money (Articles 4 and 5). Provision is made for the opening of client bank accounts, their use and payments in and out of the accounts (Articles 6-8). There is provision concerning the paying of interest (Article 9), reconciliation of accounts (Article 10) and for certain requirements not to apply designated accounts (Article 11).

Part 3 relates to the protection of client property.  Articles 13 and 14 are concerned with the protection of investments and Articles 15-18 are concerned with the safekeeping of documents.  Article 19 relates to the accounting to clients for documents of title of investments held in the registered person's custody, and reconciliation of those documents, and Article 20 is concerned with storage of client property.  Article 21 imposes a requirement to maintain insurance and Article 22 relates to the registered person's dealing with third parties in relation to client property.

Part 4 is concerned with regulating procedure in respect of protected accounts in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency ("default").  Article 24 creates a statutory trust in respect of client money in favour of clients in proportion to their respective shares, and thereafter in favour of the registered person.  Articles 25-27 determine the destination of client money in the event

of default on the part of the registered person, an approved bank holding client money or an intermediary, or the coming into force of a direction from the Financial Services Commission in respect of the client money.  Article 28 provides for the appointment by the Commission of a default officer to administer this Part of the Order.
