This decision underscores the AMF's strict enforcement of depositary oversight duties, particularly in verifying fund managers' investment monitoring systems, asset valuations, and compliance with prospectus constraints like issuer limits and security ratings. It matters for compliance teams as it highlights personal accountability risks and potential fines for inadequate due diligence in fund depositary roles, signaling heightened scrutiny amid past H2O fund issues. #

This matters for compliance professionals as it signals upcoming proportionate ESRS revisions that could ease reporting burdens for large listed companies starting voluntarily in 2026, enhancing investor usability without diluting key sustainability insights. #

This matters because it signals a shift to uniform EU-wide AML/CFT supervision via AMLA (post-EBA handover on January 1, 2026), requiring firms to adapt to standardized risk indicators, data reporting, and enforcement, with new CDD rules applying from July 2027. Participation ensures firms influence final standards amid the transition to a single EU AML rulebook. #

This enforcement action underscores the AMF's rigorous scrutiny of operational controls, due diligence, and governance in investment services, serving as a critical reminder for firms to maintain robust procedures to avoid similar sanctions.

The AMF Enforcement Committee fined RBC Investor Services Bank France SA (RBC ISBF) €500,000 plus a warning on 20 July 2022 (published 08 January 2026) for breaches as a UCITS and AIF depositary, including 25 confirmed failures in tiered intervention procedures for investment ratio overruns and deficient monitoring of 14 questionable cash flows over 45 months. This decision underscores AMF's strict enforcement of depositary duties under French regulations implementing UCITS/AIFMD, emphasizing robust controls for ratio compliance, cash flow verification, and documentation. It matters for compliance teams as it provides precedent on what constitutes "irregular and deficient" oversight, potentially increasing scrutiny and fines for similar lapses in depositary functions. #
