      [ESMA 34-43-392 UCITS Q&A, section 3, Q&A 6d]

      No. Tripartite agreements are possible under paragraph 40(g) as long as there is no title transfer and the collateral is held by a third party custodian subject to prudential supervision and that is unrelated to the provider of the collateral.
