10.2.48A Obligation to give a Financial Services Guide for a custodial and depository service
For section 1444 of the Act, sections 941A and 941B of the Act are taken not to require a person to give a Financial Services Guide to a client, in accordance with Division 2 of Part 7.7 of the Act, in relation to a financial service (the new financial service), if:
the new financial service constitutes:
the provision of a custodial or depository service under section 766E of the Act; or
dealing in a financial product that is held on trust for or on behalf of the client as a necessary part of the custodial or depository service; or
issuing, to the client, a financial product that is a beneficial interest in a financial product held on trust for or on behalf of the client as a necessary part of the custodial or depository service; and
the person entered into the arrangement under which the custodial or depository service is provided, before the FSR commencement; and
the arrangement continued unaltered after the person became subject to Part 7.7 of the Act.
For paragraph (1)(c), an arrangement is taken to continue unaltered if:
the person holds, under the arrangement, financial products that are different financial products from those held under the arrangement before the person became subject to Part 7.7 of the Act; and
none of the different financial products is held on instruction from the client.
Subparagraph (1)(a)(ii) does not apply to dealing in a financial product if the dealing consists of the issue of a financial product to a person other than the client to whom the custodial or depository service is provided.
