The staff of the Division of Investment Management will not recommend enforcement action under Section 17(f) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 if a registered investment company or its custodian places the fund's cash or securities in the custody of the Mortgage-Backed Securities Division of the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation to meet margin deposit requirements. This assurance applies because the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation is registered as a clearing agency under Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, making it an eligible custodian under Rule 17f-4. The staff determined that the Mortgage-Backed Securities Division does not have a conflict of interest because it is not the issuer of any security or the contra-side to settlement transactions.
