Establishment, Keeping and Custody of the Register of Guarantee Assets

BaFin requires authorized primary insurance undertakings, Pensionskassen, and Pensionsfonds to establish and maintain a computerized register of guarantee assets that segments investments by class and account. The circular mandates immediate chronological recording of all additions and withdrawals, strict custody within the EEA, and the electronic submission of annual printouts within three months of year-end.
