En date du 6 décembre 2019, en application des dispositions de l’article 148, paragraphe 4 de la loi modifiée du 17 décembre 2010 concernant les organismes de placement collectif (la « Loi »), et en tenant compte des dispositions de l’article 149bis de la Loi, la CSSF a prononcé une amende d’ordre d’un montant de 10.000 EUR à l’encontre du gestionnaire de fonds d’investissement CANDRIAM LUXEMBOURG (le « Gestionnaire »), soumis aux dispositions du chapitre 15 de la Loi. L’amende d’ordre a été prononcée sur base des dispositions de l’article 148, paragraphe 2, points g), k) et o) de la Loi suite aux investigations « closet index tracking » effectuées par la CSSF en relation avec le compartiment CANDRIAM EQUITIES L – EURO 50 (le « Compartiment ») de la société d’investissement CANDRIAM EQUITIES L (précédemment dénommée DEXIA EQUITIES L) qui est soumise aux dispositions de la partie I de la Loi et qui a désigné le Gestionnaire comme société de gestion. Ces investigations ont mis en évidence sur la période allant de fin 2012 à début 2017, où le Compartiment fut absorbé par le compartiment CANDRIAM EQUITIES L – EUROPE de la même société d’investissement, des manquements dans la gestion du Compartiment par le Gestionnaire aux dispositions légales relatives aux exigences en matière de transparence au niveau du prospectus et du document « Informations clés pour l’investisseur » (en anglais Key Investor Information Document (KIID)), de règles de conduite en prélevant des coûts indus au Compartiment et à ses porteurs de part ainsi que de dispositif de contrôle interne du Gestionnaire. Afin de déterminer le montant de l’amende d’ordre, la CSSF a pris en considération les actions correctrices entreprises par le Gestionnaire pour pallier aux déficiences constatées.
On 6 December 2019, pursuant to Article 148(4) of the amended Law of 17 December 2010 relating to undertakings for collective investment (the “Law”), and taking into account Article 149a of the Law, the CSSF has imposed an administrative fine of EUR 10,000 on the investment fund manager CANDRIAM LUXEMBOURG (the “Manager”), subject to Chapter 15 of the Law. The administrative fine has been imposed on the basis of Article 148(2) (g), (k) and (o) of the Law following the “closet index tracking” investigations carried out by the CSSF in relation to the sub-fund CANDRIAM EQUITIES L – EURO 50 (the “Sub-fund”) of the investment company CANDRIAM EQUITIES L (previously named DEXIA EQUITIES L) which is subject to Part I of the Law and which appointed the Manager as management company. These investigations have identified over the period from the end of 2012 to the beginning of 2017, where the Sub-Fund was absorbed by the sub-fund CANDRIAM EQUITIES L – EUROPE of the same investment company, failures in the management of the Sub-fund by the Manager to comply with the legal provisions relating to the disclosure of the prospectus and the “Key Investor Information Document” (KIID), the rules of conduct by charging undue costs to the Sub-Fund and its unitholders as well as the internal control mechanisms of the Manager. In determining the amount of the administrative fine, the CSSF took into consideration the remedial actions undertaken by the Manager in order to address the deficiencies identified.
