Risk Measurement and Calculation of Global Exposure and Counterparty Risk for UCITS - Concentration rules
Question
Article 54 of Directive 2009/65/EC permits competent authorities to authorise UCITS to invest up to 100% of their assets in transferable securities issued by certain issuers e.g. sovereigns. In such cases the UCITS must hold securities from at least six different issues and securities from any single issue shall not exceed 30% of its total assets.
Should this diversification rule apply on the basis of the net assets of the UCITS or on a gross basis?
